**Thank you for bringing this up—it is one of my pet peeves. I correct it whenever I can, but had to hold back recently when a friend was telling me about a 13-year-old student in her kid’s class who “hung” himself. Her error was almost as bothersome as the story was sad, but I managed to be appropriately quiet on the subject of the grammar error. **

You know, that’s pretty cold. **

I know, I’m hanging my head in shame but I have this knee-jerk response to such things.
