This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

The hanging so
Ending a sentence with 'so'.

Someone: "And such and such happened, and this was the situation, so...."

"So what?" is my stock reply. It's a sentence in it's own right, adding the 'so' then expects me to mentally supply the punchline.

I've noticed this of people Mrs SLVA knows that she bumps into in shops (whilst I kick my feet, act bored and whine 'can we go now?').

it appeared suddenly
and spread like a virus. It's all over the TV now as well as loads of people I know

My mother and her friends used to do that when I was a kid, going back 40 years and more
so it's not new.

It seems to stand for 'draw your own conclusions...'

Hahaha
I was listening to an interview of two Asperger's sufferers this morning.

One of them was explaining how he hated liguistic idioms, and would deliberately punish people for using them, eg, as a kid, if someone told him to "watch the road" he would literally stare at the road, not side to side.

Massive Drugs
I find myself doing this a lot at the moment - I'm taking some serious strength painkillers because of my crap leg, and it means that my brain sometimes takes a break in the middle of a sentence. If somebody interrupts me, I'll not have a clue what I was about to say, but if they let me be I'll continue the sentence after about 10/15 seconds. Bizarre.....

This annoys the tits off me as well.
My brother used to do it all the time and people in France do it a lot as well, with "donc, euh...". It just makes people sound retarded enough to have forgotten their train of thought right in the middle of a sentence.

I'm afraid I do this without realising
Or end the sentence with '...but, um...' and feel like an inarticulate idiot.

*hangs head in shame*
