You and her or You and she?

You and her or You and she?

I came across this example while memorizing vocabulary. How can it use an object pronoun here instead of a subject pronoun?

Bring me over a beer, bring a beer over for me, bring over a beer for me?

Hi guys, If I want to use 'bring over' to ask someone to bring me a beer, how should I do it? I feel like 'bring me over a beer' does not work because the direct object is *me*, is it not? So I would be the one being 'moved' by the verb. But any other combination that I can think of sounds a bit awkward. Of course, 'bring me a beer' is the easy way out, but I would like to know how to say it with "bring over" Thanks!

How to pronounce ''Thr'' quickly?

Saying Three and Through is easy, only problem though is when you have to say it quickly. For example: "Thirty three years old" Like it just doesn't seem possible to make your mouth touch your front teeth and switch to the r position so fast. So maybe there's a way around this? Maybe natives found some way to say it without having to do the full movement?

is "In the first place" idiom specific only for american english?

as in "You should have told me in the first place!" phrase for example, I wrote it in my english essay and teacher said that I had too many "americanisms"(she then included this idiom in a list of my americanisms) and we're studying british english. Is it true that "in the first place" used only by US people?

What does 'yurt' mean here? I googled it and the results say it's a Mongolian tent.
