[Grammar] Which is correct? or both?

[bergerstone]

I wonder which of the following two expressions is in the right way or both?

1\ it looks as weird as it sounds
2\ it looks weird as much as it sounds

Thanks in advance...

I'd use #1.

I'd go further, and say that 2\ would never be used by a fluent speaker.

 

[bergerstone]

Thank you. It's what I did.

 

[bergerstone]

Thank you. Any suggestion how #2 could be revised?

 

[probus]

My only suggestion would be \1. which is perfectly idiomatic

Bergerstone, the only improvement I can suggest is that you go back to your own posts (#4 and #5) and edit them so that they contain correct capitalisation. You must capitalise the first word of every sentence and capitalise the word "I" in written English, at all times.

 

[bergerstone]

Yes, thank you. They look better now. I will bear this in mind.

 

[emsr2d2]

Not only do they look better but they are now correct.

A better title would have been It looks as weird as it sounds​.
