It seems that I have seen somewhere someone write:
Instead of writing, 'He is so sick that he can't walk',
I saw him write, 'He is so sick as he can't walk.'
On a second thought, it is that the two expressions
are identical , except for the same use of 'as' as 'that'.
Now, 'as' can be interchangeable with 'that' in not so broad a scope but
under limited circumstances as per cited?
Never mind.
H.W. Fowler has set the 'as'
at the same footing as the 'that'.
