Than

[Vida J Morkunas]

>Does anyone find this sentence grammatical?
>1) She's the one than whom I am better.

No, I don't - and I've never heard anyone express themselves that way.

>It sounds like ass to me.

The above doesn't sound good, either ;)

>But Barbara Wallraff at the The Atlantic Monthly seems to think it's
grammatical. She uses it as evidence that "than" is both a preposition and a
conjunction in her November column.

I look forward to what others have to say about this.
