Usage notes

[edit]
  • In Canada, it may be used either at the start of a phrase or at the end.
  • The South African use is stressed on “as”.
  • The intensifier use is oftenphatic, divorced from any sense of an addition happening, but in some utterances the degree of phaticness is ambiguous. The non-additive nature can seem odd to speakers of other varieties until they realize that the term can be used this way in British English.
