Whenever my mom (her name is Anu) picks up the phone and the caller asks for Anu, my mom always says, "This is she."

I think it would be correct to say, "This is her."

Which one of these is right? Are there any other better ways to say it besides these?

I read on someone's answer that the urdu word "paki" means clean, and when watching asian movies as a kid I remember them interspersing many english words within the dialogue.

This got me thinking - how would you say "clean pants" in urdu, assuming that pants translates to "pants" ?

Much of our population can't spell correctly, and now they can't seem to form whole sentences! What's up with that? This isn't snobbery on my part. It's concern. Or, most likely curiosity.

You're probably gonna think I'm stupid for asking, but I did Twelfth Night at school and when Malvolio gets what he thinks is a love letter from Olivia he says "These be her very Cs, her Us, her Ts, and then her very Ps!" Everyone laughed at this and they said it meant something dirty...so im kinda embarrassed to ask. But tell me please?
