No. All I can think of that it might be is �it �s not that easy �. |

I �m with Lynne. @ pinkblossom: "much" is used with comparatives, isn �t it? Also "it �s not that much of a probplem" comes to mind... but I haven �t heard what you mentioned. Maybe the key is in the context where "that" refers to something previously mentioned. E.g. "He lives a simple life but it �s not that of much ease" could this be the case? Native-speaking forum people, what do you think? |

Yes, your sentence is possible, Sophia, but I would change the �that � to �one �. And to be a stickler, change �but � to �and �. |
