SO....does anyone know when or who started the practice...
...of starting every answer with the word SO???? And would it be wrong of me to throttle the very life out of them for doing it?

So, you want to know if I have the answer? And, you think I'd tell you? Well, all I can say, at this time, is no.

So... mostly it's to give the speaker a few valuable seconds to possibly come up with a wittier response? One could also substitute the word "Well......" just as easily.... I find that a thoughtful... "hummmmmmmmm" while looking interested works even better,,, and rubbing the chin/beard adds the theatrical to it...

So, what you are saying is..... they teach this in effective customer communications...this is a common way of defusing tense situations with angry customers... so, I guess this would piss you off more JR

Duh, I prefer to preface my answers with the word, "Duh." It helps to set the proper expectations.

This ^^^^ Or more accurately maybe, to give them time to come up with any response. Unsurprisingly 'Ol Pal, it drives this pedant to distraction. And why on earth does anyone feel the need to actually type it at the start of a post  I blame the BBC.

Almost as bad as like. I find myself doing that like you know, sometimes. Life is like at least 75% filler. If we left it out there might not be much to say. We might communicate faster and understand better, hey imagine that!
So like well, er...I guess that sums it like up right?

It bothers me most coming from nearly every talking head on tv or radio. The other morning as I drove to work I was listening to the Diane Rheem show and every single panelist was doing it. I lost count of the sos. I've since learned via the interweb that it was probably started by silicon valley/Microsoft geeks. Figures. I'd really rather they at least go all the way with this nonsense and start every sentence by shouting "HaaaRoooo!!!!!" or "Fendle-Hessy!!!!!" or somesuch before giving their answer. At least that would be entertaining.

So, a needle pulling thread? 
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.
