@mayaphenomenal,
May my most sincere apologies

Technically, May, I suppose it's not. (That is, it's colloquial but maybe not exactly correct grammatically) As I remember, with "so" you have to explain, like "...so happy to be your host that I'm barely able to contain myself"

In other words, you have to explain why you'll be happy

Help me somebody, I just disremember all the technical terms


Oh and "hafta" means "gotta"

May, forgive me for that'n

I will be so happy to be your host.

There is absolutely nothing grammatically wrong with your sentence.

However, the "so" is a bit excessive. But if you MUST exaggerate, say, "I will be very happy to be your host."

S'poze is Dale's way of abbreviating 'suppose'. Hafta is his way of saying 'have to'. Clear enough for a native speaker of English, but I wish he would leave out the odd and unusual abbreviations on the language threads. English is confusing enough without this stuff.
