Does you variant contain the “that’s what___” expression below?
That’s what bothers me is that we can’t get back by dark.
I’d say it like this:
What bothers me is that we can’t get back by dark.
or:
The fact that we can’t get back by dark is what bothers me.
So it doesn’t occur in your variant, right?
That depends on what you mean by “variant” – you mean in my geographical area?
I can tell you that I rarely hear constructions akin to the example provided in the initial post of this thread – it sounds weird.
Could be.
How so?
I don’t know how to explain why something sounds weird – the best explanation I have is that it just does.
It is what it is!
hehe
That’s what.

Ok. Thanks.
Just wondering: would “It is what it is it is!” make sense?
