Can we say:
"She is a good actor more than teaching." along the same lines as "She is a good actor more than a teacher."?

I have posted related question on other forum, but did not get satisfactory answer.

Can we say no colon here "She is a good actor more than teaching no full stop here" along the same lines to mean the same as "She is a good actor more than a teacher no full stop here"?

Neither sentence is correct. You need "She is a better actor than [she is] a teacher".

Please note my other corrections. Did you post this exact question? If so, please provide a link to it on the other forum.

Alternatively, "She's a good actor but not as good a teacher".

She's a better actor than she is a teacher.

Does "she is a better actor than [she is] a teacher" mean "she's better at acting than teaching"?
