SO in pre-attributive position

I have looked at the data for so long that it sounds perfectly fine to me, even if I wouldn't say it myself--SO in the pre-attributive adjective position:

"He is a so cute kid" or "That is a so cool jumper!" (I made those up)

It has been suggested that perhaps this would only be typed out and not expressed orally. I have to keep an ear out for it. I suspect it's already being said in a number of communities, but it will spread and I'll eventually get a few clear examples of it in person.
