That was the correct grammar for centuries, however.
I was always appreciative of correct grammar, but it's a hopeless cause now.
Talking heads on TV news even butcher the language today. "Less" when they mean "fewer," "amount" when they mean "number," "feel badly" when they mean "feel bad,"...it goes on and on.
I cringe when they say--and they all do-- A person 'called' -- What the hell is wrong with "named?" The person has a name not a call.
