I'll be happy if people stop commencing conversation with "So" and in some cases, ending it with "innit"!

Starting any sentence with "So" is, I think, just a passing (but annoying) affectation - it is a chance for the respondent to think about a reply. It replaces "Um" and "Well" in that respect.
"Innit" is just an inarticulate shortening of "isn't it", and to use it as a sentence terminator presumably means "isn't that right?", or "isn't that true?"; neither of which are necessary.
Spoken language evolves and changes all the time; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. At the moment it is changing for the worse: by politicians, by journalists and those fond of neologisms ( such as "-gate" to denote an embarrassing situation - an American import). The 'street speak' of the younger generation is just one manifestation of language evolution.
One particular manifestation of this, which I find annoying is the 'upward inflection' - making every sentence sound like a question.

It's said in CSI quite a lot, but that started over 20 years ago.
I don't mind it actually.
