OP I’m curious about the term “so-called” and it’s proper usage. In the past I seemed to only notice it when it was used with condescension or for somewhat dubious concepts. However, I have noticed it used more often for seeming well know concepts.
Does anyone have an opinion on this?
OH and what's up with the Hyphen?
Thanks
