Default Re: as much ... as ...

Part of the decision is a matter of what context overall is being used.

As an English teacher, I like the adjectives and adverbs that paint a better picture of what is being expressed.

As a business person, I want a short, concise statement that takes the least amount of time (and this also has to do with American English more than English English).
