Is it as lucky as me or as lucky as I?

Answer 1

This is debatable. My personal opinion is that "as me" is more logical. Questions like this have no definitive answer because there is no single ultimate authority on the English language (like there is for, say, French).

Here's a quote from The American Heritage® Book of English Usage that I found on Bartleby.com:

"personal pronouns after as. Your mother is just as proud as me, said the father to the child with good grades. But should he have said, Your mother is just as proud as I? As with similar constructions using than, there is a traditional rule stating that the pronoun following as … as … constructions must be in the nominative case, demonstrated by the fact that She is just as proud as I is really a truncated version of the sentence She is just as proud as I am. Another way to put it would be to say that the second as functions as a conjunction, not as a preposition, in these sentences. Whatever the merits of this logic, the as me construction is very common in speech and appears regularly in the writing of highly respected writers. Moreover, you can argue that the second as is really a preposition in these constructions and demands the objective case. And there is the objection that as I constructions are overly formal, even pretentious. In short, both constructions are defensible and both are subject to attack. When you want to play it safe, use the as I construction, but throw in the verb to make it a clause: She is just as proud as I am."
