Quote #10
LIZA [looking fiercely round at him] I wouldn't marry YOU if you asked me; and you're nearer my age than what he is.
HIGGINS [gently] Than he is: not "than what he is."
LIZA [losing her temper and rising] I'll talk as I like. You're not my teacher now. (5.232-34)
By using incorrect English, by rebelling against the standards of English grammar, Eliza is able to rebel against Higgins as well.
