Yeah but it happens so ( ) often. I see it on Dragons' Den: "Tell us about your third year predictions" - "So we expect to hit three million by year three." Or "How does this item work?" - "So you just plug it into any USB port..."
How does "so" work at all there? You could say the sentence without so and it would make as much, if not more, sense. It's too prevalent, I feel, and everyone is doing it now, almost without thinking about it, it seems.

There's an implied pause after "So" that helps to prime the listener for the following sentence, whereas if you were just to jump into the sentence it might seem rather abrupt and awkward. I use "So" and similar words/phrases all the time because when I don't it just doesn't read as well.
