Usage notes [edit]
  • Utilise of so in the sense to the implied extent is discouraged in formal writing; spoken intonation which might return the usage clearer is non usually apparent to the reader, who might reasonably expect the extent to be made explicit. For case, the reader may expect He is and then good to be followed by an caption or consequence of how practiced he is. Devices such every bit use of underscoring and the exclamation mark may be used as a means of clarifying that the implicit usage is intended; capitalising SO is as well used. The derivative subsenses very and very much are similarly more apparent with spoken exaggerated intonation.
  • The departure between and so and very in unsaid-extent usage is that very is more descriptive or matter-of-fact, while and then indicates more emotional involvement. For example, she is very clever is a simple argument of stance; she is and so clever suggests admiration. Too, that is very typical is a simple statement; that is Then typical of him! is an indictment. A formal (and reserved) apology may be expressed I am very sorry, but after elbowing someone in the nose during a basketball game, a homo might say, Dude, I am so sad! in club to ensure that it's understood as an accident.[1]

    • 1887, Engel, Eduard, Griechische Frühlingstage, 4th, purer edition, Radebeul bei Dresden: Haupt & Hammon, published 1927, page 361:

      Then, das sind die Entscheidungen der größten Gelehrten über dice doch nicht ganz unwichtige Frage, wie eine der Sprachen auszusprechen sei, in der jahraus jahrein in Deutschland gutgezählte 50 000 junge Menschenkinder unterrichtet werden.
      Trotz jenen Entscheidungen ist natürlich noch lange nicht daran zu denken, daß dem Unfug einer als gänzlich falsch erkannten Aussprache des Griechischen ein Ende gesetzt wäre. Der Schlendrian wird auf diesem Gebiete des Schulwesens wohl ebenso lange dauern, wie auf vielen andern; denn bequem ist allerdings jener Schlendrian, nur wissenschaftlich ist er nicht, und unbrauchbar für das Leben ist er obendrein. Dice Beseitigung des Schlendrians werde ich wohl nicht mehr erleben, auch dann nicht, wenn Plato selber aus der Asche auferstünde und die deutschen Schulmänner die richtige Aussprache lehrte. Sie würden ihm beweisen, daß er sich irre: er habe in den mehr als zwei Jahrtausenden seit seinem Tode gewiß dice richtige Aussprache vergessen; sie aber, die deutschen Oberlehrer und Direktoren, kennten sie ganz genau: sie wäre buchstäblich so wie das Neuhochdeutsche des 20. Jahrhunderts gewesen.

      So these are the reckonings of the greatest scholars well-nigh the not quite insignificant question how ane of the languages which is taught to nigh 50 000 young lads per annum should be pronounced.
      In spite of these reckonings by far it is not to call up that this buffoonery of an utterly incorrect pronunciation of Greek would come to an end. The litherness in this field of schooling volition last as long as in many others; for user-friendly it is forsooth, just scientific it is non, and devoid of use for life 'tis on top. The elimination of this litherness I will non be an observer of in my lifetime, even if Plato himself were to rise from his ashes and teach the pedants the correct pronunciation. They would shew him his beingness at fault: he surely has forgot the right pronunciation; simply them, the senior and head teachers know it very well; it would be literally like the New High German of the 20th century.
