Are you sure, even colloquially? Isn't it polite to put oneself last i.e. Who is more important: her or me?

Also, after a colon should it be capitalized in both the formal and informal? I don't believe so.

I may be wrong... but if my memory serves me...

Yes but "her or" isn't as mellifluous

Me neither, either, Igm. I'd cap though if it were a sentence
