A bigger pedant than me? I? meyiiiii...
Bill Walsh is the doyen of copy editors (if you don't know what a copy editor is, he explains on his site). He's a trenchant commentator on English, a frontliner in the grammar wars (he's like Lynne Truss's cuddly uncle). I was surprised to see him take a soft line on "10 items or less", but he spins it into a discussion on the "than" issue (nonpedants, you should already be looking away now).
This is one of those that gets the blood rising in most: should it be "bigger than I" or "bigger than me"? Bill settles this question for me. If you care how, read his piece and you'll know as much as I.
