The Poojer Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I think I know the answer to this, but I know I am not as smart of some of the rest of you, so I come to you seeking knowledge...this statement deals with preferring something over the other...... "I would just as soon have a Legend Pilsener than a Budweiser" ----- OR ------- "I would just assume have a Legend Pilsener than a Budweiser" common man, I gots ta know......

I think you could actually use the second, but I won't bet the house on it. Where's grammer officer Tom McMonkeyBungee guy???

For a preference, you should use, "I would rather have a Legend Pilsener than a Budweiser." I think.
The Poojer Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 ok, i get it, thanks The phrase "just as soon" should be used when the speaker has no preference (i.e. "I would just as soon have a Legend Pilsener as a Budweiser".

The funny thing is if that your thread used Capri Sun as one of the choices and put it down in any way, it would have been deleted before you got your answer.

aussiew Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 HopsGuy has answered correctly. However, I'd rather have a glass of Shiraz
rockpile Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 HopsGuy has answered correctly. However, I'd rather have a glass of Shiraz 806967[/snapback] Bottled in Australia, natch! I have gotten so my wine is from Italy, Australia, or South America. The French still make the best Pinot Noir though.
