"This is her" sounds illiterate. It is illiterate -- "she" is the predicate nominative in that sentence: it's a substitute for the sentence subject & has to be a subject pronoun.
My pet peeve is "Joe and myself were cold" or "they came to visit Joe and myself." Yack! How to tell? Take Joe out & see how it sounds: "Myself was cold." "...came to visit myself." That word is a reflexive pronoun and can never be the subject of a sentence; it always must be the object, direct or indirect. That's why "Myself was cold" is cuckoo.
