Joe Muscara Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Instead of starting OT threads with "OT" you mean?

J. Dan Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I typically don't, but when I do, it suggests that there is a long back story that I am skipping, and beginning at a point that is a result of the backstory, which would generally be understood by the forum. Backstory: I have been playing in cover bands for a number of years. I started with a Korg polysix and Casio cz101, but quickly needed a keyboard that could reproduce sounds like pianos. My next purchase was a Roland jv30 which did well when paired with the polysix. I really cut my teeth on the polysix and learned how to get a lot of sounds out of it. Most recently I have been using the Kronos, which has a polysix engine inside. Begin thread: So, I was messing with the polysix engine in the Kronos, and.......

Song80s Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 ...both verbally and lately, in written form. Is this taught in schools now as proper grammar? it was the natural progression from starting every sentence with " I mean,,,, etc " Before that, every sentence started with " You know ...etc" Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?

OB Dave Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I've heard it said that "basically" is just a fancy way to say "duuuh." But I shall revise that as follows: "So" is the equivalent of a start bit in a serial protocol. Lets the listener know there's a train coming. And "umm," "uh," "basically," and "essentially" all mean "buffering" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoMan51 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Re: So, How Did We Evolve to Start Every Sentence with So? So, it appears that every sentence begins AND ends with so. So what, I say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillNeverPost Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Aspiring grammar police should read this: http://grammarist.com/grammar/conjunctions-to-start-sentences/ Now, despite it being technically acceptable to start a sentence with "so" the impression you give when using it depends on context. "So what's up?" is informal. "The dogs have found the fox. So the hunt is on." is not informal. This being a decidedly informal forum, I think you can use it here any way you want.

Geoff Grace Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I think it's fine to start a sentence with "so" in a casual conversation. People play loose with grammar and use slang all the time in that setting. Where the use bothers me is during news interviews in which the reporter or guest leads each answer to the anchor's questions with, "So..."

allan_evett Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 So....Basically this is what happens when GAS drops off here. Definitely a lack of being able to discuss a new, ginormous workstation on steroids. A teachable moment. Epic, even. Could be a blessing in disguise though; an aha-moment in the making: Alternately, time to hit the man cave, and once again build my skill-set to facilitate the fan-base.

MathOfInsects Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Even worse to my ear is when people end the sentence with 'so....' They're not ready to relinquish the floor, but they haven't thought of a next thought yet. At some point, they realize they never will. So they leave the so dangling like geriatric tits during a push-up. "I saw a great concert last week. Funk and jazz. All unknown artists. Really cool stuff. So..."
