<g> It is an error which becoming increasingly common, not helped by
the lack of training in grammar in schools (many, posibly most British
teenagers have no idea of the parts of speech at all; even when I was at
school most of our formal grammar was taught in 'foreign' languages and
many didn't realise that they applied to English as well).
