A grammar question: Help me...

Hi, I need a help, please, somebody. I have a small question. In the example below, is the usage of the "as" grammatically OK? I mean, usually "than" seems to be used there instead of "as". Onegai shimasu!

Example: She is no more foolish as you are.

You are correct. The sentence should be 'She is no more foolish than you are'.

I take it you have no problem understanding that the sentence means neither 'she' nor 'you' are foolish. This sort of phrase caused quite a bit of confusion on a recent thread!
