      MSGID: 2:5023/24.4222 674993b3       PID: InterSquish 2.0.5.25Free       CHRS: CP866 2       RFC-MIME-Version: 1.0       RFC-Content-Type: text/plain       Hi All,              I sometimes come across this kind of UK dialect, where they put "so" at       the end of the sentence. Like:               Blan-blah, we did this then we did that, so.        It didn't work out anyway, so.        Or [basically any assertive sentence], so.              How does an american reader see it? Is it just some kind of UK English       or even a person's trait? I also found this on Quora:              ======       Ending a phrase with "so" is as common as randomly dropping the word       "like" into a sentence, which is another quirk of language in Ireland.       Saying goodbye could be "Later so" or "Are we going for a pint, so?" It       can mean "then" or some suggest "eh".       ======              Does this seem accurate?                     --        "What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable        planet to put it on?" -- Henry David Thoreau       --- InterSquish NNTP Server/FTN Gate        * Origin: www.wfido.ru (2:5023/24.4222)       SEEN-BY: 50/109 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 153/7715 218/700 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 300 317 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 266/512 282/1038 291/111 301/1 113 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 450/1024 460/58 256 1124 5858 463/68       SEEN-BY: 467/888 712/848 902/26 5000/111 5005/49 5015/42 46 255 5020/400       SEEN-BY: 5020/570 715 830 846 1042 4441 8912 5022/2 5023/12 24 5030/49       SEEN-BY: 5034/13 5053/51 58 400 5054/30 5058/104 5060/900 5061/15       SEEN-BY: 5061/133 5075/35 128 5083/1 444 6035/3       PATH: 5023/24 5020/715 1042 301/1 460/58 229/426           |
