Never noticed and don't recall anyone bringing it up at the time.

@DeniseColo Do you watch a LOGO show? For those who do, I think all the "agains" from Lori and the "real quicks" from Amy when she is hosting are impossible not to notice.

@Pearlee - I never noticed the "real quick" phrase until you mentioned it on here awhile back. Now I hear Amy say it all the time...so thanks a lot!! Just kidding . It's funny how some of us don't notice some of these things when they are so noticeable. Next time I watch, the "again" thing will probably stick out like a sore thumb to me.

I would say that Lori is a phenomenon convincing petite ladies to wear tops down to their knees.

I haven't noticed again is used a lot.

Sorry, but I have never heard anyone use this word excessively.

I haven't either. I don't think I've ever heard it used as a filler word. On QVC or anywhere else.

I listen to hours of recordings of people in natural conversations all over the globe on a daily basis, and "again" as a misplaced starter is a nonstarter. It ain't happening. Maybe in the QVC environment, but not in the business world, medical field, or academia have I heard this. Maybe it'll happen, but it's so obviously wrong that I doubt it.

"So," on the other hand, is used to start and, maddeningly, to end sentences by seemingly everyone. The words "just" and "actually" are often thrown in when they don't make sense, and everything is really, really whatever, or very, very--always twice.

One thing that really nettles me on QVC is that faux maternalistic line, "there's only so many to go around," like the overpriced gewgaw is a cookie and we're dimwitted children hoping we get one. It's a transparent and silly attempt to get us to place that order, but I think it's insulting.
