Chamcham  +  212353 Tue, 04 Apr 06 08:28 AM Dear teachers, I don't know if there is any difference between "no less than" and "not less than" as shown in the following sentences. There were no less than one hundred people at the meeting. There were not less than one hundred people at the meeting. Thanks a lot.

Chamcham I only use 'no less' in my entire life so if you want to use 'not less', you must write something like this: We need more students, not less. I need more than that! Not less! No less is to show the amount of something. That's what I can tell you HMFindlay Joined on Mon, Dec 19 2005 KL Full Member 108 - Get what you can and keep what you have; that's the way to get rich - Difference Between
