A mistake I hear English speakers make is "It was so fun," instead of saying "It was so much fun," as if the word 'fun' is an adjective, instead of a noun.

?? At least in my dialect, which is close to General American, "fun" is both an adjective and a noun (and, rarely, even a verb), and "It was so fun" is perfectly grammatical.

Sorry, Jim. When I hear that, it sounds like a wrong note played on a piano. I grimace when I hear it and I would NEVER teach it. The only way I'd use it as an adjective: It was a fun evening. Americans - I notice on TV - are destroying the language. For example, I keep hearing "There's a lot of things I like." Eeuuww!

I heard "extremely capable" today. This doesn't happen often, but it did bother me a little. Capable, to me, is a finate state. Either one is or one is not capable. Once that state is exceeded, one is still merely capable.
Am I wrong to let this bother me?
BTW, I've been speaking English my whole life and fun is indeed an adjective. Just because a usage is informal does not make it incorre
