• ... so

    From Gleb Hlebov@2:5023/24.4222 to All on Fri Nov 29 13:13:07 2024
    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?
