park I’m pretty sure that association holds true, at least in 98% of cases where X is an adjective and Y is a noun.

“That’s so stupid an idea I won’t even acknowledge it.”
“That’s such a stupid idea; I won’t even acknowledge it.”

Some people will plop an “of” between ‘stupid’ and ‘an’ in the first instance. I don’t believe this is grammatically incorrect, technically, but it makes the sentence sound muddier imo. Typically the more concise you can make a sentence, the better. (Same e.g. with something like “All of my friends…” which isn’t wrong but can and should be shortened simply to “All my friends”.)

"all of my friends" has the right nuance if the superlative sense of "all" is the most important thing in the sentence and needs a little spotlighting but yh, if those friends in their entirety is just a circumstantial subject, drop that shit
former of those two examples is grammatically correct but also "so" is overused and vague while "such" frames the clause more decisively so hmmmm yes that one
but most importantly "all" can be a noun as well as an adj or adv, so your example is a little misleading - in most cases "[so] ADJ of a NOUN" reads like tarwater and makes me regret all my meals ever

I fail to see what your last point has to do with park’s equation, my example of “all of my friends” was divorced from the ‘so X a Y’ rambling above it, merely showing another case where ‘of’ is often used but not necessary.

To your point I agree that including ‘of’ makes the sentence uglier and more bungled. I also agree that “so” is overused in much writing and can easily become a recurring crutch for speaking superlatively, but there’s nothing wrong with it used sparingly.

This is so ridiculous a topic to discuss on a music forum that you can consider my contributions to it finished.

Oy vey, I hadn’t even realized park mixed up his X and Y on the right side of the equation. My brain must’ve autocorrected it. I see what you mean now but yeah it works if you flip flop the X and Y back to the same order.

Also “too” is a reliable sub for “so” if you’re that averse to it.

E.g., I lied—this is too good an argument for me to miss out on.
