So too many times

[swr999]

"I've sung it so too many times" needs a little more context.

The "so" can take the meaning of "I've sung it thus too many times, or like that too many times, or that way too many times. Maybe something like "Así lo cantaba demasiado."

PS: No Spanish keyboard so accents are hard for me to include. Os pido perdón .

PPS: Ooops! Noobismo total here! I had not seen the 'Accents' pulldown menu in the advanced editing window.
Accents added.

Revisiting this, if we add a comma after the too, the sense may be clarified somewhat, and can be taken as "I've sung it that way also, many times."

o sea, Así la he contado yo también, y muchas veces. Not saying this is the original meaning, just that it's another possible English interpretation.

And finally, there is a current, hopefully transitory, slang use of the word 'so' you may hear used by mainly US 20-somethings and younger, in the following way:

"That's soooooo 2010" with heavy stress on the 'so', used when referring to something that was commonly done previously and which is now thought to be so out-of-date and unfashionable that it no longer merits any consideration.
