Sure
Would you please explain the usage of "sure" like this:
"I think I've told everyone about the party. I sure hope I haven't left anyone out."
It seems it is an adverb in here, by meaning of "certainly".
When is it usually used? I think it is quite informal.

Thanks Clive,
Have you happened to mention that this form of sure is used in casual speaking rather than writing?
