So far so good
Back me up, chaps. I've been asked to 'edit' some local wrinklie's rambling reminiscences of living death in the Ionian.
He's titling it "So far, so good".
No, I tell him, "no comma."
"Call yourself an editor?" he storms, "'f course there's a comma, you illiterate."
No, I tell him: 'so far so good' has the philosophical element of 'well, i've made it this far without totally blowing it".
With that comma it's like a triumphant, So far! So good!
"Bah!" he bahs, "and they told me you knew how to write."
I am right - ain't I?

So Far So Good - poor grammar
So, Farso, Good - I'm glad you speak Farso
Sofa Rsog Ood - Bulgarian folk song
So, Far, So, Good - so, what
So Far, So Good - We're happy you moved, but it's not a bad title, but "I haven't botched it up too badly," would mean the same.
I'm lolling back LOLing.
