Talk:so

Under which of the English meanings should you put the "so" in:
"I was hungry and so I ate something"?
In this instance, it's a synonym of "therefore," right? As such, it should be an adverb. However, this usage isn't listed on this page — This unsigned comment was added by 70.244.205.206 (talk) at 22:12, 9 November 2008.

So...

"'So' Pushes to the Head of the Line". at [1] or [2] May 22, 2010, New York Times. - Just noting; not sure where or how to add it in here. Quiddity 01:29, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Grand so.

Does this count as a different use http://www.google.com/search?q=%22grand+so%22&hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=cloc:c,cl_loc:ireland&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=countryIE&safe=off so, in this case, meaning "in that case" or "then". Not just with "grand" but usually Kanjo Kotr 14:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

"So" instead of "Well"

I hear a lot of people using "so" where one should use "well". Someone is asked a question, and instead of starting his answer with "Well, ...", he starts with "So ...". I remember a friend of mine doing that at least as far back as 2001, but it seems to be getting more common (unfortunately!). Eric Kvaalen (talk) 13:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

"there is so a (something)"

None of our senses explains to me sentences like "There is so a Santa Claus!" or "And what do you know, the State listened, and decreed that yes, Mr. B., there is so a Plan B." [3] What does the "so" do there - does it emphasize the verb "be" which can't be emphasized by "do"? I mean, you can say "I do believe in Santa", but not "there does be a Santa", so do you say "there is so a Santa" instead? Or am I off the mark? --Thrissel (talk) 18:38, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
