Heh, I just discovered today by looking on a dictionary: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/know That know can informally be used as a noun (a shortcut for knowledge?). For me as a non-native English speaker, when one writes: They "most likely know" (know here is a verb) or: They "had better knowledge" (knowledge is a name) Things become clearer. Heh: They "had better know the details better than you" the "better" word is used twice, and yeah, this is requires more fluency in English for a non-native speaker to get what it says. Considering that "know" (noun) seems to be a shortcut for "knowledge", what about: They "had better knowledge about the details than you" Just my 2 cents. Thanks, Mauro
