spot the error
Alex is not as tall as Shelly.. spot the error in the sentence..
Top answer
Anonymous Alex is not as tall as Shelly. These days you can hardly find a living soul who recognizes the so-called error in this sentence. There is, however, an old "rule" (which no one pays attention to anymore) that says "so", and not "as", should be used after a negation.
