Not a bit less

[xprakash]

Hello There,

I am not quite clear about the usage of phrase 'not a bit less'.
Here is an example:

'I would like to thank Mr. David for his continuous motivation.
Not a bit less, I would like to express my gratitude to .......'

Is this correct usage of the phrase?

Thanks!

I've never heard the expression, but I take it to mean "Equally."

Welcome to the forum.

To be sure, is this your own writing or someone else's? I'm guessing "David" is a surname (like the French painter).

Thanks Copyright !

Tazzler, it is my own writing.
Here is a link for its usage by others in title (I am not allowed to post link so I am giving the plain text here):

"FATbit Technologies - Not A Bit less in the realm of Mobile Website Designing"

But I am not sure about its correct usage!

Oh, thank you for the information. In the original case I would replace "not a bit less" (which is a bit odd here) with "likewise".

Okay then, I will do the same.

Thanks Tazzler!

Like Tazzler, I'd say that "not a bit less" doesn't sound right. But to me, neither does "likewise". Rather, I'd say something like, "I would like to thank Mr. David for . . . I would also like to express my gratitude to . . . "

"Likewise" is, to me, an informal word reserved for use in informal situations. Bartender: "What'll you folks have?" A: "I'll have a beer." B: "Likewise."

Thanks Parla!

From the discussion I have come to conclusion that the use of 'not a bit less' is odd.

And it is better to remove that part from the sentence.
In that way I don't need to worry about its correctness either !

Thanks everybody!

Parla's opinions are very respectable. Why don't you just connect them with "and"? That's the simplest solution.
