It's,"....have spoken better English than "I"...". It's the teacher in me. I can't help it. My former colleagues and I are always doing this. Wow, it's a travel forum and posters shouldn't really have to worry about being called out on their grammar now should they??. Besides, the use of "me" in that sentence is actually correct. Not to drag this on, but I kind of made light of this by acknowledging that I was nit picking, HOWEVER using 'me" in that sentence is wrong. "I" is the correct subject. "Me" is the object in a sentence. You wouldn't say, "All the French nationals I have run into in SXM have spoken better English than me do". It's , "All the French nationals I have run into in SXM have spoken better English than I do".
