Post subject: as gooder |
|
|
After reading "I was trying to get as clearer photo as possible with bad
lighting" I took a deep breath and googled "as gooder"...
Most of the examples on usenet are jocular, but the web search throws up
plenty of normal examples:
"hes not as gooder bowler"
"probably as gooder fit as we were going to get"
"your site won't get as gooder rank as it might"
"here looks like as gooder place as any to ask this question"
"And without the others it wouldn't have been as gooder (is that a word?)
night as it was."

You'd get a lot of ear-spellings. Such as ...

Mistyping of "He's not as good a bowler". |

Mistyping of "probably as good a fit as we were going to get". |

Mistyping of "your site won't get as good a rank as it might". |

Mistyping of "here looks like as good a place as any to ask this |
question".

Mistyping of "And without the others it wouldn't have been as good a |
night as it was."
The really common error is to write or say "as good of" for "as good".
This "as gooder" is a new one on me.
It just occurred to me that these may have been posted by someone
non-rhotic, because if you don't pronounce the R at the end, "as gooder"
and "as good a" sound about alike.

Unfortunately, there are no "as gooder if not betterer", well until now. |
