Passing Thought: So Unnecessary

So, it seems to me the use of the word "so" at the beginning of a sentence has been on the rise. Perhaps I just notice it more. 'So',' it seems, to me, to be an unnecessary way to begin a sentence. It's a conjunction. "So" joins two thoughts. "So", though, has seemingly worked it way into the realm of "like "as a casual modification. Ok, so what? So now you know, so it goes, sew buttons on your underwear.
