A pronoun in a comparison is nominative if it is the subject of a stated or understood verb.
Sandy writes better than I. (Than I write.)

I realize that grammar discussions are as boring as they come, but this is a case of someone learning English so it's important to be accurate.
- ShardPhoenix 16y agoStrunk & White is frequently wrong and doesn't even follow it's own rules. For example, what you quoted is obviously wrong - "better than me" is correct here and is what anyone who isn't completely pretentious would write.
