[/QUOTE]Yeah, I sort of also referred to my own post with that, but it's unusual to write the same phrase twice By the way, since it's not enough of a matter to start a new topic, is it correct in English to say "Write as less as possible?" When my teacher said that, I corrected her, saying "Write as little as possible." She said that both words apply. Maybe I'm being stuck-up and she is true, but is she really right? I have my doubts because of previous English teachers I've had, saying 'Bill visited dentist' and pronounciating 'smudge' as 'smooch.' |

LOL. No "write as less as possible" is not correct - it doesn't make sense. "Write as little as possible" is correct. Tell your teacher she sucks. J/k [img]smile.gif[/img]

nonetheless, despite her vast and varied experience, she remains incorrect. To write 'less' is to write in a quantity that is smaller than a previous quantity. You can't write 'as less as possible'. If you say that in the U.K., or in the states (except for maybe Portrush, and possibly Arkansas) people will automatically know you're a foreigner. It's like wearing a big sign on your shirt that says, "Hey, I'm not from around here! Cheers!"
