"Her and Charlie are in 3rd place". Please!!!!
"Her" is the objective case. "She" is the nominative case. Use the nominative case when the noun is the subject of the verb. In this case, the verb is "is", the third person singular conjugation of the verb "to be" ... "He is, she is, it is". But that's the formal explanation. If you just stop to think about it for about two seconds, would you say "Her is in 3rd place"? Obviously not. So why are "Her and Charlie" in third place?
I might expect such usage from someone in elementary school. But an apparent college student and a sorority member??? Unbelievable. Only in the USA.
