0 Yes, indeed. 02br
00But I think many people make mistakes, and use "me" instead of "I". You only have to hear the conversations in the streets, cafes, etc... 02br
00Yes, it's better to keep in mind MrPedantic's rule. 0-

0There are some exception to the thumb rule. For example02br
02br
00"He is taller than I." is the correct sentence and not " He is taller than me." 02br

0 I can see why you are dubbed 01i00Science02i00 guru-- both forms of the pronoun are correct in this structure. 'I' is more formal than 'me'.02br

I doubt it...

Maybe "He is taller than I" is a short form for "He is taller than I am". So this is the old good thumb rule... Ah?
