desk red 604 Are these the same in meaning Yes. There is of course the usual ancient chestnut of whether it should be "as/than her" or "as/than she" or "as/than she is/does". This is one of the most commonly asked questions in all of English grammar, which you can read about at your leisure, so I won't go into it again here.
