This blunder is just too common!

 Consider this expression: "They are better than us." Isn't that not what you are likely to say? Sorry, that is incorrect. The correct is: "They are better than we". CAUTION: When you say "us", you commit a blunder of misuse of pronouns. The appropriate pronoun in that expression must be one in the object case, not subject case. Let me cite another example: "My sister is taller than I." (not "My sister is taller than me.") Is this well understood?
