Petition against the double negatives!
It's useful to know the non-standard English as well, as it is the real English you hear every day!
In Russian? No way!Quote:

2. I like tennis as well, as it is a fun sport.
In 1. "as well as" is one unit meaning "in addition to"
In 2. it is "as well" = also, and then "as it is...." = "because it is"
In 2 "as well" and "as" are separate, and therefore need a comma to avoid confusion.
Yes, "Well chuffed" is what I hear most.Quote:
