Mini-rant: use of the word "well" at the start of a sentence...

[PeterB]

I'd just prefer that the people in question come out and say what they want to say, without the "Well," prefix. "Let's see how it goes" is more succinct, direct, unambiguous, and to the point than, "Well, let's see how it goes." The "Well," adds an unnecessary level of implied doubt. Oh, and I should add: I mostly see this coming from the current generation of younger women (= college age), I have yet to read this coming from a male. Except for in this thread, of course.
