Grammar question Hi, there Could you help me with a few questions? 1) Are so and so that interchangeable? Can I say "It was getting late, so that we decided to go home" instead of "It was getting late, so we decided to go home"? And "Steps must be taken so these disasters never happen again" instead of "Steps must be taken so that these disasters never happen again"? 2) Can I use "a dissatisfaction towards" and "ventured" in this paragraph? "China's new approach to the disputes is not simply a manifestation of the newfound ability in power politics, but rather a dissatisfaction towards the accommodation approach ventured by the previous leadership." Does it sound odd? Thank you very much!

Grammar question

Hi, there

Could you help me with a few questions?

1) Are so and so that interchangeable? ( No they are not interchangeable ) 

Can I say "It was getting late, so that we decided to go home" instead of "It was getting late, so we decided to go home"? And "Steps must be taken so these disasters never happen again" instead of "Steps must be taken so that these disasters never happen again"?

2) Can I use "a dissatisfaction towards" and "ventured" in this paragraph? "China's new approach to the disputes is not simply a manifestation of the newfound ability in power politics, but rather a dissatisfaction towards the accommodation approach ventured by the previous leadership." ( This seems fine to me ! ) ( May be the accommodation approach is not so good here )

Does it sound odd?

Thank you very much!
