"as good as, as" ?
hello!
Could some one say "This is as good as, as it gets" ?
The correct should be "as good as it gets", but could some say the following one in a more daily informal speach fashion, or in a song's lyrics, or it would be 'way wrong', or way to strange to be heard by a native english/american speaker?
thanks in advance!
