	CalifJim  +  43866 Mon, 30 Aug 04 07:25 AM It is not completely convincing as idiomatic English. Here's some ways that are better: It has not rained today, but it rained yesterday. It has not rained as much today as it did yesterday. The two do not mean exactly the same thing, however, so you will have to decide which one is the one you want to say.

	demicjusz  +  43884 Mon, 30 Aug 04 12:07 PM The original message MIGHT be 'It didn't rain yesterday and it hasn't rained today either'. Would you agree? demicjusz Joined on Mon, Aug 30 2004 Poland Junior Member 98 This is not an anonymous account. Demicjusz /da-'meets-yoosh/

	CalifJim  +  44177 Thu, 02 Sep 04 02:45 AM "It hasn't rained today, just like yesterday" is completely correct, yes. "It hasn't rained for two days" is another possibility! CalifJim
