Is my dictionary wrong?
Could any English Trs. make four sentences with "to yield twice the result with half the effort"
I was told to change this sentence to " to double the result with half effort" ----from an australian guy.
But I copied down the first sentence from a dictionary, so is there anything wrong with the first sentence which I copied dwon from the dictionary? Or how would you write it if you understand what I'm trying to say?
Thank you very much!

Get twice as much for half the effort is a common permutation. I understand your two sentences, but they are not as colloquial.

nikoer30127"to yield twice the result with half the effort"There is no reason to change it. Both of them mean the same thing and both are correct (as shown).
... "to double the result with half the effort"
No, your dictionary is not wrong.
