pronouns - "...as you and I am" versus "...as you and I are"


Which is the correct usage to end the following sentence?



[person] is not as [adjective] as you and I [am/are].



I'd also like to see some good fill-in-the-blanks.



Answer



Personally, being a fan of brevity, I'd go with door number three: neither.


Eeyore isn't as fun as you and I.

In a pinch though, you'd certainly need the plural verb:


Winnie the Pooh isn't as tall as you and I are.
