Title: Kettle in Nude Sex Romp
Post by: Mince on January 10, 2011, 07:46:11 PM: How many times do you have to read this to get its meaning?

Obesity rates among young people in the North East are so alarming doctors here think we should be operating on extremely overweight teenagers.

What's not to understand?
As for the sentence you quote, a comma after the word "alarming" would probably sort it out.

The word "that" would work better. The first time I read it I thought "so" was similar to my students' use of it in "He's so not going to be in my good books."

> UK teen jailed after student protests

I wonder what the student protested about.

You know, someone with their knob stuck in the spout, that sort of thing.
