From the UWF Writing Lab’s 101 Grammar Mini-Lessons Series Mini-Lesson #78

In sentences containing a clause preceded by “as” or “than,” choose the pronoun based on the intended meaning. That is, consider the intended meaning and mentally insert the missing pronoun. You are taller than I. You are taller than I [am].

Be sure that the pronoun you insert is a logical one.  The cows chased Kendra farther than I. This sentence is awkward because using the pronoun “I” means that Kendra was chased not only by cows but also by a person.  The cows chased Kendra farther than me. The intended meaning is that only the cows are doing the chasing; therefore, the correct pronoun choice is “me.”

More examples…  Incorrect: This applicant is more qualified for the managerial position than her.  Correct: This applicant is more qualified for the managerial position than she.  Incorrect: Few writers have won more writing awards than herself.  Correct: Few writers have won more writing awards than she.
