Title: So I've noticed something
Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 10, 2012, 05:58:30 PM
We start a whole lot of threads here starting with "So -..." and "So, -..."

Is that even genuine English or just some sort of internet thing? Just go through the top 2 pages of All of all and you'll see.

So, I noticed as well. Not sure if it's any genuine or whatever. But yeah.

I'm pretty sure it's not proper English when it comes to sentence structure. Starting a phrase with "So" makes the sentence a fragment because you state the effect without the cause. For example:

I was bored, so I went to the movies. - This is a full sentance

So I went to the movies. - FRAGMENT

"So" can also be used to exaggerate an adjective such as "The fire is so hot!".


That being said... Who gives a damn, it's very convenient for conversation and the interwebs aint 2 famous 4 using proper English... Lawls

It's generally how, at least over here, you can bring up an entirely unrelated subject from the conversation. Same thing with anyway, you throw it up and it basically says "What I'm about to say next has no bearing on the current conversation, don't be confused."

Yeah that sounds about right.
As in - that's pretty much how I've interpreted and used it at least.

Just found it rather amusing when I checked the all of all page. But what DB says is true, more of a conversation thing.

When I started my thread about going to space, I swear I did NOT see that pattern.

Unless of course this was a late April 1st joke. Then I definitely didn't see that pattern.

Yeah lately all threads have been edited to follow that pattern. Sorry for pointing it out.

Right, I vote for "right". Kind of similar, not as "so"-y.
