[QUOTE="Sarah, post: 244647, member: 6"] Let me add to this the language of Jim McDonald from Corrie which isn’t normal but for a few words spoke in Ulster-ish (which is a N Ireland made up way of communicating). I am betraying my country by saying this but Charlie Lawson is TERRIBLE in Corrie (UK soap for those who aren’t aware) and his over exaggerated Ulster thing of saying ‘so it is’ after everything DOES NOT HAPPEN with the frequency he portrays it. However it does happen sometimes, especially in East Belfast. But it’s usually just a “I’m doing that tonight so I am” or “It’s horrible, so it is”. However, in keeping with the thread theme, one of the many colourful characters I work with, uses the colloquialism completely out of context or picks the wrong “so it” from described list. It drives me to distraction. For example: “And I am going to Spain... so it was” “And Liverpool took the cup last night... so I am” “And we were left running up the road from the Man Utd fans... so it was”. It adds more pain and unbearable annoyance to something that is already unbearably annoying. [/QUOTE]
