Talk:as soon as possible

as far as possible

Why not add as far as possible too? --Backinstadiums (talk) 13:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

And as distinctive as possible, as yellow as possible, as hot as possible. DCDuring (talk) 21:29, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

@DCDuring: Not the same since only as far as is idiomatic (unlike as distinctive/yellow/hot as) --Backinstadiums (talk) 22:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

How's that? It's meaning seems as readily derived from the meanings of its components as possible. DCDuring (talk) 22:26, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

@DCDuring: From what meaning of far can one derive "With respect to; as relates to"? --Backinstadiums (talk) 22:55, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Please explain. DCDuring (talk) 02:59, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

So the components are as far as + possible. DCDuring (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

sooner rather than later

Is sooner rather than later a synonym? --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:53, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
