00Be careful with the words "true" and "correct". They are not the same in English. 02br
00Ask, "Which one is correct?", not "Which one is true?" 05002br

00"...too ... that ..." is not correct. 02br
00"... so ... that ..." is correct. 02br

0 Hello Clive 02br
02br
00You might have a reason. In Webster, they give a definition of "very or extremely" to "so" (EX: I am so happy), and in Oxford WordPower they did a definition of "very" (EX: You've been so kind). But I cannot find this sort of definition in the Oxford English Dictionary's entry of "so". I feel OED editors take it as vulgar to use "so" alone in the sen
