"She has more fun than anyone I know on this planet. She's pure passion, that girl." - Hugh Jackman, in People, about his wife Deborra-Lee Furness
Hugh has made a type of faulty comparison that is commonly found in questions on standardized examinations. The comparison in the first sentence is between "she" (his wife) and "anyone I know on this planet." The literal interpretation of Hugh's statement is that his wife does not live on this planet because comparing her to a group of people excludes her from the group.
To make a logical comparison, insert "else" into Hugh's sentence:
"She has more fun than anyone else I know on this planet."
This syntax creates a comparison between Hugh's wife and anyone else in the group of people on this planet.
This type of faulty comparison, which excludes a person or thing from a group, is also associated with the word "other." Read a discussion of the difference between "any" and "any other" in comparisons.
