When someone always up talks they come off as needlessly timid and desperate for agreement. Or, coming off as faux-inquisitive, as if everything's an open-ended question to ponder.

What also bugs me: Prepending every answer with "So…" a la Zuckerberg.




The "So" plague is not limited to answers. It shows up line zero column zero in all things written. I imagine all 365 entries in a contemporary teenager's diary begin "So today ..." / "So I ..." / "So thing happened ..."


Don't forget the other virus of beginning every statement with "you know what?"

No, actually, I don't know "what". That's what I'm waiting for you to tell me, jack-ass.


I know, right?
