Here's a downright depressing example of pronoun confusion: in this utterance, the parents of this poor boy prefer a bouncer to their own son! Certainly the author meant, "we loved this bouncer more than he (did)."
There is very meaningful difference between the sentences, "She loved buffaloes more than him" and "She loved buffaloes more than he." In the first, buffaloes have more of her love than the man. In the second, she simply loves buffaloes to a greater extent than the man does.
Please heed this difference: your child's self-esteem might depend on it!
