it might be better to show that A and B are the same words; maybe instead of using A and B, list them both as A?

I don't know if I'd say it's incredibly common, but it is used in conversation - it certainly isn't a rare grammar point!

べんりことはべんりがたかすぎる (although it's convenient, it's too expensive) Should this not be 「べんり[b]な[/b]ことはべんり[b]だ[/b]がたかすぎる」?

The translation of this example sentence:

このはいいはいいがい。
This cat has it's nice parts, but it's gas mileage is bad. (When I read this English without reading the Japanese first, I thought "that must be really smelly farts for a cat" xD)
