What I find interesting is how quickly these expressions catch on. 'So...' has spread like an epidemic. The other morning on the Today programme an interviewee started almost every answer: ”So...” I must stop listening out for it!
'Narrative' has also crept in everywhere.
As for ”I know where you are coming from” this really amuses me. One can think of a few good answers.
I know language evolves but it seems people are now copying trends parrot-fashion.
