"Fair" often implies a baseline level of competence or acceptance, while "proficient" indicates a higher degree of skill or ability in a particular area. However, in some contexts, "fair" might be viewed as more favorable than "proficient" if it suggests equity, balance, or a more relatable standard. Ultimately, the value of each term depends on the context and the criteria being assessed.
One view:It really isn't that hard to remember the answer to this question. Think about how you could say "You are better than I am." It would not make sense if you were to say "You are better than me am." Therefore the answer to this question is "You are better than I."Another way to think of this is at the beginning of the sentence "I am better than you" it says "I"not "me" so if you turn that sentence backwards it would be "You are better than I" not "You are better than me."Another view:In modern day English, it is acceptable to say "You are better than me." The "than I" version is archaic, and might be okay in a very formal context, but not colloquially. A rule that describes modern English is that you use the subject forms of the pronouns (i.e., "I", "he", "we", and so on) as the unconjoined subject of an explicit finite verb, but elsewhere you use the object forms (i.e., "me", "him", "us", and so on). This view considers "than" to function like a preposition (just as you say "before me" but "before I do").
Those who get half a loaf become happy because half a loaf is better than none.
Straight classes are better than split classes because they just are.
Better can be an adjective or adverb. It is the comparative form of "good" or "well." Adverbs describe a verb, so if you're using it in a 'did something better' sense, then it's an adverb. It would be an adjective if describing a noun, someone or something better than someone else or better than previously. It can also be used in a variety of idioms.
It depends on the application and requirements.
No it does not. Proficient means average, and advanced is advanced.

the great compromise wasnt fair, but it was better than they already had.
A better word than "proficient" could be "adept," which conveys a high level of skill and competence. Alternatively, "expert" may be more suitable when referring to someone with extensive knowledge and experience in a specific area. Both terms can enhance the description of someone's abilities beyond mere proficiency.

It may not be fair but your boss probably does treat his son better than the other employees. It is something that happens and there may not be anything that you can do about it.

Yes, fairer is the normal comparative degree of the English adjective fair. It is used thus... It was a fairer system of justice. or He was much fairer than his father... However, sometimes the Frenchified form "more fair" seems better, as in "he was more fair than his father.".
