I wanted to know how do I add on to my vocabulary? It is not that well put together (if you would say). I'm in a Technical college and they start you out with composition english. That is not going to help me. I feel like I'm so far behind everyone else. I got my GED in 1997 and just started college last year. But I know I need to be more advaced in my vocabulary and I don't know how to go about it.

A friend gave me a copy of the US edition of Bill Bryson's 'Dictionary of Troublesome Words'. The author, who is a UK journalist goes on tediously and pedantically about words which are often confused (expect & anticipate, for example), and seems to be anally careful about getting things right. But he writes this, without apparently spotting it as an error -

'However, and as illogical as it may seem....'

This seems to be common US usage, but strikes me as a case of illiteracy arising from lack of familiarity with the language. It seems to me that 'as as' is the common idiom for constructing a simile or making a comparison - e.g. 'as clear as crystal'. While 'illogical as it may seem' is an example of a completely different idiom meaning 'although it may seem illogical'. In this case no comparison is intended, so the construction used for making comparisons is inappropriate. What do you think ? Would 'as illogical as it may seem' pass as correct idiom in the US ?
