[Winwin2011]

1. He's better than she. (Do we use suject form "she" in written English)
2. He's better than her. (Do we use object form "her" in spoken English?)

Thanks.

Re: Older than me or I

In formal language it is possibly better to use 'I' but in everyday usage 'me' is more common unless followed by a verb or clause.
