	Grammar Geek  +  233666 Thu, 08 Jun 06 03:47 AM There's no real difference in contexts like "It was as though a great weight had been lifted from my mind" or "It was as if a great weight... etc." However, the sarastic use of "As if!" favored by teens and adolescents (which means "That's not likely to ever happen") just doesn't work with "As though!"
