T-Rex: Who is the best at eatin' cupcakes? The probable answer is T-Rex, because my goodness I ate seven cupcakes yesterday all in a row!
T-Rex: And guys I wasn't even trying that hard!
Dromiceiomimus: Wow! If that's the case, you're better at it than me! I start to feel sick after about five.
T-Rex: Ah, Dromiceiomimus, that's actually "better at it than I". An easy way to remember the difference is to include the "to be" verb you're dropping: "better at it than I am" sounds right, while "better at it than me am" does not! Easy!
Utahraptor: Geez, that was kind of rude, T-Rex!
T-Rex: It wasn't meant to be!
Utahraptor: Yeah, but it was. Correcting people's grammar in conversation is difficult to do without sounding like a jerk!
T-Rex: It's true! Plus, you've got to be eternally vigilant with your own grammar, lest you mess up yourself.
T-Rex: And yet, I do it freely!! That's because I live on the edge, Utahraptor.
T-Rex: That's because, some days, I take an envelope out of the box and I PUSH IT.
