Jul 27, 2015 at 0:30 comment added chocolate Ah @roflcoptaz are you talking about スリッパを用意するはいいが、準備するはおかしい。in the linked page? No it's a different usage. 「~したはいいが・いいけど」 って決まった言い方があるんで・・
Jul 27, 2015 at 0:14 comment added user1478 Yeah, I'm familiar with the idea that sometimes people "directly nominalize" things, to use Martin's term (treat them as nominal without inserting a nominalizing particle like の). But it seems like most of those instances are in fossilized phrases and expressions, and it doesn't seem like you can generalize it to "you can just treat phrases as nominal whenever you want" without ending up with unnatural or ungrammatical Japanese. So it seems like it's worth discussing individual cases like this one. Thanks for the link :-)
Jul 26, 2015 at 22:41 comment added roflcoptaz I'm not quite sure what you're looking for but you do realise that it's just the person not putting the の before は? Although this does seem to be the more common way of saying it if I remember correctly. Also, it's not only たas you will see it with する etc for example, the answer to this question detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1211526297
