Are they not the same the thing? Just to be on the safe side I wanted to verify this with others. Sorry for the stupid question.

4This sounds like a question for English Lanugage & Usage or English Language Learners (though don't just take my word for it); it's not really about mathematics. – HDE 226868 Jun 22 '15 at 20:57

Also the same: "Not less than 8." – mweiss Jun 22 '15 at 20:58

I apologize, I was working on a Binomial distribution problem and assumed the Math would be my go to choice.(It's the only one I use). Next time, I'll post there regarding wording. – Kapooky Handy Jun 22 '15 at 20:59

Not necessarily: there can be a difference between plain English usage and mathematical usage. – Bernard Jun 22 '15 at 21:27

They mean the same thing. Saying "x is at least 8" and "x is 8 or more" are both equivalent to the statement $x \ge 8$.
