So when you write just to write the perils are a plenty. And when you begin a sentence with “so” you violate all the old rules. I especially noticed this about 10 years ago when I heard it in response to a question, almost like the person was just continuing the sentence.
“How many hours from Lexington to Chicago?”
“So,” came the reply, “hustle and you make it in 5 hours.”
“So...?” Yes, and so what. Language changes.
So I'm learning to play along. But I still refuse to begin an answer with “so.”
That makes 100!
