American English has a new filler word!
So now means pues. It has taken over the word well in academic circles.
Here's a example I heard in an interview recently: "Why has polio not been eradicated as small pox has?" "So (used instead of well), there are three strains of polio, and only one has been eradicated. This is just one of many examples. It's everywhere and seemingly overnight, and in fact, it's become overused almost as soon a it was coined. |
So.. (;)) I've been hearing this a lot for the last couple of years. I don't particularly like it, but when language changes, it changes and there's not a lot we can do about it.
