I think I might have come across that on Youtube as well.

There's also this one that I put together a week or two ago. You can also download it for your Android phone.

For me, and I have found myself using So often to start sentences, I caught on to it working with folks from India. They tend to use it a lot, like A LOT. So I have picked it up. I try not to use it but it comes out more often than not.

So, in conclusion, So is used a lot.

Ah oke.
It looks kind of redundant to me. In Dutch, the comma and "and" both mean the same thing in a list, namely that the list is continuing.

For us, the Oxford comma comes across as:
I like to thank my parents and Han Solo and and Julian Bashir. (Notice the double "and" before Julian Bashir)

The fact that we use commas is to avoid a constant repeat of "and". We do use "and", but right before the last item, as an indication that the list is coming to an end.

But that is how I experience the Oxford comma and is probably why I never really gave it much thought. I don't know if that is the same for other people though.

My biggest pet peeve is nonuse of the oxford comma...

I have heard of the Oxford comma, but I have no idea what it is or when it is supposed to be used. Could someone explain please?

The comma before and when making a list.
I like the thank my parents, Han Solo, and Julian Basher. Oxford comma

I like to thank my parents, Han Solo and Julian Basher no comma.

The comma befor and makes a clearer, and cleaner sentace.

Hmm could introduce a question, and there's nothing like ending an argument with "So there!"

So after reading your problem I realized I have not come across this problem, or at least I have not noticed it before now.

Coming from Northern Ireland everyone here tends to finish every sentence with "So it is"

So I don't think it's a really recent thing. I'm fairly certain I saw it used for years like this.
From what little I learned Arabic, I noticed that paragraphs in newspapers would often just start with an "And". A similar thing, I suppose, so the phenomenon is not just limited to English.
It's like clearing your throat before delivering a speech. Ever noticed how often people do it? And it doesn't really serve any useful purpose, either.

So when I saw your post, I started thinking about this. So I can't really recall this being used more than usually lately. So I don't know any other meaning of the word either, aside from it indicating a conclusion.


_{ps: I'm sorry, I know I'm an annoying ass at times. I just couldn't resist :P}

So I have no idea, tbh... :silly:
