Cue the Grammarian


"SO's your old man!" was a youthful rejoinder in the days of innocence. But Business Insider says that everyone is using "SO" to begin a sentence, particularly before a question. Silicon Valley programmers use it before an answer. Now I understand what "SO SO" infers and I get SO and SO, but that single SO hangs out nakedly reaching for a dangling participle. Even Gail Collins opened a sentence with SO. (period). You know that YOU KNOW is used as punctuation and LIKE is overused SO that I disLIKE it. SO, what do you think?
