as...as phrase at the beginning of a sentence? In the movie "Kingdom Of Heaven", The king suffering from leprosy is talking about Arabs. "The Saracens say that this disease is God's vengeance against the vanity of our kingdom. As wretched as I am, these Arabs believe that the chastisement that awaits me in hell is far more severe and lasting. If that's true, I call it unfair." I want to know what the meaning of 'as' is in the second sentence. Does the phrase "As wretched as I am" give a nuance that "These Arabs are wretched too because they believe so"?

The meaning of the word "Versus" in this interview of Steve Jobs In an interview, Steve Jobs says "It's to shake off this uh... this uh... erroneous notion that life is.. is there and you're just gonna live in it versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it." https://youtu.be/kYfNvmF0Bqw?t=69 I think 'versus' is used as a proposition like 'against' only, and I haven't met a sentence like this before. I can get he just used it with the meaning of "on the contrary, in contrast, etc" though. I hope someone can explain more about it in detail. Thank you very much in advance.

What is the usage of 'to' here? I have been studying English with a youtube video, in which she says, "What happened was I eventually said no, and I eventually took a break, Um.., to the advice of Kate Moss who kind of picked me up off the floor, passed out, being covered in pain..." I don't know why she said: "to the advice...." I think you ought to put some words like "due to" or "thanks to" before "the advice". DId she forget to say a word or just stumble? Or is it just a separate sentence? Please help me to understand. Thank you in advance. https://youtu.be/umlJgWK_Xxo?t=567
