Wednesday, August 11, 2004 Answer from Susan Than I or than me - Which is good English? According to "The Good English Guide" by Godfrey Howard, both are used, so use whichever comes naturally. For most of us, that will be "than me", "than him". If you prefer "than I", it is better to complete the sentence: "She is taller than I am." Otherwise it can sound stilted. In some sentences, look out for the risk of confusion: "She loves him more than me" could mean "She loves him more than she loves me" or "She loves him more than I love him." In such cases, spell it out and say what you mean. Thank you! 8:33 AM
