This is a question Faking it

Rakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."

So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

The more I think about it...
I'm starting to question whether you can actually use "than" as a preposition in a comparative phrase. In your example, both you and your brother are being tall, so should probably both be the subject - it's not as though your brother is being tall to/on/at you.

I'm going to change my answer to "both are wrong", and advocate using "My brother is taller than I am". :)
