I'm likely to use either. Well, would you use either of them (more/better) _equally_ in the following sentences: - In my view, there's nobody *** qualified to resolve the problem/write a story/..whatever. - He asks: why should they work hard to achieve when by working hard and achieving they came out seemingly no *** qualified than anyone else? - It reinforces the Government's aim of a *** qualified workforce for the UK. - In this case a *** qualified response might be (/have been) given...
