Either say stronger than or as strong as.They're not the same, but this is a question and they'll both get the same answer. Don't say *I see often the phrase; it should be I often see. You can't put adverbs between verb and object. | |

| Jul 20, 2018 at 10:38 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | 'May' in this context appears to mean 'are permitted to', so I do not think it can be interpreted as a suggestion. | |
