Hey,
Don't blame my country!
I'll accept full blame for my gramatical mistake! :)
The funny thing is that I'm usually the one correcting other people's
grammar at work!
Hmm - I guess I must have started using that phrase a long time ago and
nobody ever corrected me. I bet I never used it in any formal writing at
school and work, so tha's why it has never been caught there.
I do have to grudgingly agree thought that Americans do tend butcher the
language a bit.
