I'm not as good as Wondergirl, but just want to point out one thing.

In this sentence;

It's studying.

Do you know the difference between their, there, and they're? (All are pronounced the same, but are used differently.)

Do you know the difference between its and it's?

comparative = -er or more
superlative = -est or most

#1 is correct. Either one in #2 is correct. Using -er or more would be a true comparative.

Sometimes -er is good. Other times "more" is good.
I am more brave than he is. (Better than "I am braverer than he is.")
I am happier than she is. (Better than "I am more happy than she is.")

I am the bravest of all. I am the most brave of all.
I am the happiest of all. I am the most happy of all.

Be sure to use one period at the end of a sentence.

What I asked about is..
Must I use this rule(as.. adj.. as) when I negative comparative sentense ?
Ex..
You are not faster than me.. or.. you are not as fast as me?
Which one is correct

Yeah I know, it is just a misprint when I wrote it.. :)

I'm voting for the second one.

You are not as fast as me.

But I would tend to write it this way;

You aren't as fast as I am.

WG will correct me if I'm wrong, which I am more often than not. ;)

We're both learning. WG is the master when it comes to the English language. She's the one I go to whenever I need to edit something.

I hope she doesn't mind me popping in here.

English is flexible and allows a variety of ways to get one's point across.

You aren't as fast as me. (colloquial)
You aren't as fast as I am.
You aren't faster than I am.
I am faster than you are.
I am faster than you. ("are" is understood)
NOT GOOD: I am more fast than you are.

Alty, that reminds me about some editing I owe you.

WG and Alt.. you are very nice

Thank you soooooooo much I appreciate all what you have done for me..
See you

Both are correct. The first one uses the comparative -er. The second one also compares by using as ... as or than -- I am faster than you are. OR You are faster than I am.

Alarm can be a noun (a thing), and it can also be a verb (an action word).

"I sounded the fire alarm." (noun)

"I alarm my mother when I walk on the roof." (verb)

I do not understand formal or informal. What do you mean? It is a natural and normal noun. It is not an idiom or slang.
