02br 02br 00This is not a good example of how "00no greater00" should be used. If I say: "the proposed rent increase should be no greater than 1%", I am saying the rent increase is under 1%. 02br 02br 00He is 00no richer00 than you and me.

00I would say, 01i00The price of lunch is less than 00¥001,000.02i02br
00Both of your choices, whether with 01i00not02i00 or 01i00no02i00, seem a littl
