minus-squarecyberpunk007@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoCause the English is poor. Replace “and so” with “and also” and it makes more sense.
minus-squaresouthernbrewer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·edit-22 years ago“and so” is perfectly valid as a conjunction for implying causation. “Thus” would be a synonym. It fits better than “and also” which doesn’t imply causation and so isn’t the right word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/so#dictionary-entry-2
minus-squareEveryMuffinIsNowEncryptedlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoYeah, but at least where I live, using “and so” or “thus” is less common than “and also” so weirdly enough their comment helped me get it. Lol.
