just so/just t

[I'm a Chubby Baby]

Hello, teachers. Are 'just too' and 'just so' both correct? Do they mean the same? Which is better? Thanks in advance!

I asked myself: Why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just so I could afford to buy fancy clothes to impress others.

I asked myself: Why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just to buy fancy clothes to impress others.

(I can't edit my thread title. My title should be 'just so/just to' )

Neither is correct. Have another look at the closing punctuation mark. What should it be?

You're welcome in advance.

I asked myself why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just so I could afford to buy fancy clothes to impress others?

I asked myself why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just to buy fancy clothes to impress others?

Two things. One, it seems that the person has answered their own question. Two, I don't see any difference between the two sentences.

Sorry about the punctuations. Here you go:

I asked myself: Why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just so I could afford to buy fancy clothes to impress others?

I asked myself: Why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just to buy fancy clothes to impress others?

What's about my question in #1?

A noncount noun is something you can't have one or more of.

Sorry about the [STRIKE]punctuations[/STRIKE] punctuation. Here [STRIKE]you go[/STRIKE] are my new versions:

1. I asked myself: Why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just so I could afford to buy fancy clothes to impress others?

2. I asked myself: Why the heck did I stay in a job I hated so much just to buy fancy clothes to impress others?

[STRIKE]What's[/STRIKE] What about my question in post #1? It would be more polite to ask "Could someone now answer my question, please?"

Please note my corrections above.

Both versions are possible.

What's What about my question in post #1?

emsr2d2, why isn't a verb needed in this sentence? Thank you!

 

[Tarheel]

It should be:

What about my question ...?

Should there be a verb in that sentence? There doesn't seem to be one, does there? Nevertheless, it's a common way to phrase a question. Examples:

1. What about Sally? Doesn't she get to go too?
2. What about French fries? Don't you like French fries?
3. What about tartar sauce? Don't you like tartar sauce?
4. What about carrot cake? Wouldn't you like some carrot cake?
5. What about cheesecake? Wouldn't you like some cheesecake?
6. What about milk? Don't you need some to put on your cereal and in your coffee?
7. What about strawberries? Don't you want some strawberries?
8. What about some chili? You like chili, don't you?
