Why buy the new iPhone 4S?

If that's a new feature on the iPhone, it just shows how far it stays behind the curve...

He was referring to Siri and it's so far ahead of anyone else as far as AI goes, the competition can't even see the curve yet.

This sucks..... I have been LONG overdue for an upgrade and I wanted a new generation OR a signficantly cheaper Iphone 4.

You did get a significantly cheaper iPhone 4. It is now $99. 50% off is significant in my book.

The structure of this sentence is as followed- "I (subject) am (verb 'to be') better (adjective) than (conjunction) them (object pronoun, which should not be here)." The real problem here is that the verb is "to be", not "to be better than". "To be" has no object, therefore does not use the object pronoun case in the arguments that follow. If there was such all encompassing verb as "to be better than", then we would use the object pronoun.

WHUT?

The sad thing is when people actually do think this is how one should speak and write.

That's been an option for me for awhile I think? Not impressed for an 8Gb model. YMMV.

I think you meant to say..."I's mo gooder than they is!"

Like much of English grammar, it depends on your school of thought.

College professors only teach their personal thoughts on grammar (for the most part). What one professor tells you is proper is not what another professor will tell you is proper. I had an English professor at SWOSU who did not use possessives, saying that the noun was presumed to be possessive in the context, even if there was little to no context that could possibly infer such a relationship.
