every so often \Prononciation ?\

  1. Occasionnellement, de manière intermittente, de temps en temps.
    • The actual words are extremely hard to grip on to. You can hear the audience dutifully applauding every so often, from which I concluded that a rather undramatic cricket match was being played at the other end of the hall.  (David Mitchell, Dishonesty is the Second-Best Policy: And Other Rules to Live By, Guardian Faber Publishing, 2019, p. 141)
