Groan ... I hear that one a lot. Makes me shudder.
Another one...very commonly used (even by educated speakers) but wrong nevertheless...the use of I instead of me. "My parents left everything to my husband and I." It all depends on the word "to". To me...to I...which sounds right? To me, of course.
Now reverse the sentence and you would say "My husband and l received everything"...etc. etc. NOT me.
