Perhaps it's (it has) become so common that I don't even recognize it as an
error. Of course I didn't know what a solecisim was either. I looked it up
on Wikipedia and found this: "a solecism is an error of syntax, while a
barbarism is an error of morphology." 

I wonder what Richard would have done to the Queen had he been barbaric.

Odd also that Richard gives us the solecism "And if he'd have managed us,
maybe we would have vomited on the queen." Yes, I'm being pedantic, but does
anyone agree that that grammar error has become much more common in recent
years?
