      Nothing is much better than "no anything".

        No anything is not a valid english phrase

          Not anything might be, though it would be "isn't anything".

            No anything can be used as emphasis, Snoop, so it is vaild under certain circumstances at least.

              Don't worry about it. Half the English as a primary language here don't know the difference in "to" and "too", nor "lose" and "loose".
