Hi, the other day, I was asked to answer the question below, even though I knew the right answer I couldn't come up with a grammatical explanation, would you please enlighten me on this matter ? Was it her/she you were talking about ? thanks in ...

Hi teachers, Non-Linear Electromagnetic Systems: Advanced Techniques and Mathematical Methods (Studies in Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics, Vol. 13) V. Kose (Author) Is it okay to say "a little bit difference" to mean "a little difference"?
 Thanks a lot, AG. Some people say a little bit difference, don't they?
 I’ve never heard it. It’s not something a native would say, to be sure.
 Okay, AG. Thanks.
