(??)<br /><br />"So," is a conjunction. It should be used to juxtapose two thoughts. A "hanging 'so,'" at the beginning of a sentence makes no sense.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-24532593304884419362014-09-24T02:29:23.081-07:002014-09-24T02:29:23.081-07:00How about when people say "I could care less&...How about when people say "I could care less" when they really should be saying "I couldn't care less".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-16997121658210212932014-09-23T17:29:53.221-07:002014-09-23T17:29:53.221-07:00There are so many overused and unoriginal expressi...There are so many overused and unoriginal expressions now employed in sports. I for one, really tire of hearing ones like:<br /><br /> "That was ridiculous!" to describe a great play.<br /><br /> Or how about "Taking it to the House!" when someone scores a TD.<br /><br /> You're right Rich. The overuse of some of these phrases shows not only an absence of imagination but also a lack of originality on the part of some sportscasters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-28060986261091083532014-09-23T17:13:52.903-07:002014-09-23T17:13:52.903-07:00You read my frikkin mind.

I quickly became aware of a huge increase to the point of revulsion. Everyone was saying it. I think usage, at some point, gradually decreased due to the popularity of internet speak (i.e. OMG, IMO, IMHO, etc). I don't listen to sports on radio, but consume a lot of NFL on TV and haven't picked up on your observation. I hope it doesn't now become an earwig!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-83359091499223817792014-09-23T16:08:38.170-07:002014-09-23T16:08:38.170-07:00I mean what I don't understand is why so many ...I mean what I don't understand is why so many people are now starting their sentences with "I mean" before they have even said anything to clarify or explain. I can understand illiterate college athletes doing this, but now you even hear the media (i.e. professional communicators) doing it as well.
