Does ‘ever so’ always possess an ironic undertone?
In the question on Q&A, the answer is up. So the question is up again.
Why any ironic phrasing of ‘ever so’ (that is) always have.?
I’ve seen this wording especially in rather old literature, as some short stories by Bradbury or similiar stuff.
I believe there is such an undertone, is merely because I found a n according note on dict. What is the

How does Ironfly do things? And if no then why is it used in our life?
If the old-fashioned (black and white) English was spoken for an American, “ever so” would have been something to remind an English public. A similar word but with stronger connotations, might be ‘frightful’ as an adjective or ‘frightfully’ as an adverb e.g…. What is this frightful brute? With
these old fashioned and upper class connotations which are almost comic, it could certainly be used ironically?
Which answer is more specific and does not always imply irony?
