Lynn:

You should be pleased to know that two grammar
check programs I used did not pick up the error. 
Other than on a test that is specifically for
grammar, I seriously doubt that most people would
call you on that error as it has become pretty
common.  Besides, grammar has changed quite a bit
in the 28 years I've been out of high school, so
what's okay today, won't be okay tomorrow and
vice versa.

Sort of like attorneys I who make up their own
words and suddenly you start seeing them in all
kinds of pleadings.  LOL  We had to keep an
up-to-date grammar book at our office since the
placement of quotation marks kept changing.
