I happen to be 64. I remember when a trip to the amusement park would have been 'a lot of fun' or 'so much fun'. Today it is 'so fun'. Please enlighten me on this usage. I sure doesn't sound right to me. Thanks, Cliff
Good question, Cliff. I suspect it derives from the growing tendency to use "so" as an adverb meaning very. For example: It's, like, so cool. So amazing. (With lots of stress on the word "so".) The word "so" is starting to mean more than just very to the youth. It's becoming an adverb used for emphasis.
