      "Ay, that am I," quoth the jolly Butcher, "and why should I not be so? Am I not hale in wind and limb? Have I not the bonniest lass in all Nottinghamshire? And lastly, am I not to be married to her on Thursday next in sweet Locksley Town?"

Usage notes

Use (2) is discouraged in formal writing, because without that intonation a reader may expect use (1), which use (2) was originally an informal derivative of. That is, the reader may expect He is so good to be followed by an explanation or consequence of how good he is – the underscore and exclamation mark are means of clarifying that use (2) is intended; capital SO is also used. Uses (2.1), (2.2), and (2.3) are themselves informal derivatives of uses (1) and (2), with the evaluation implied (e.g. "He is so good!" = "He is as good as some implied very good thing!"); they are pronounced with exaggerated intonation.

The difference between so and very in use (2) is that very is more descriptive or matter-of-fact, while so indicates more emotional involvement. This so is used by both men and women, but more frequently by women. For example, she is very pretty is a simple statement of fact; she is so pretty suggests admiration. Likewise, that is very typical is a simple statement; that is SO typical of him! is an indictment. A formal (and reserved) apology may be expressed I am very sorry, but after elbowing someone in the nose during a basketball game, a man might say, Dude, I am so sorry! in order to ensure that it's understood as an accident.[1]
