On the television, promoting some car insurance, the announcer says with great feeling :
You don't drive like him so you should not pay the same insurance as him.
D'ohhh
I can, at a pinch, take the first part, but when the poor ( and very local ) announcer says "the same as him" I want to scream. It makes the completed sentence say: "the same as him does" and even the very local and, I am sure nice guy, wouldn't ever say that.
Or would him?
