Actually, these days it's about 50/50. Original is British and inversion US, for the most part. Whilst I hate the wrong (to me) usage, language is constantly changing and you have to go with the flow or be left speaking like an old person.

No, I flatly refuse to accept that a phrase which says the OPPOSITE of what the speaker intends, by way of an entire sentence, is equivalent to normal language evolution! This isn't like the repurposing of words by culture for fun and expression. It's the utter corruption of grammar AND vocabulary by way of not paying attention to the meaning of the actual words being used! Language still needs to function on a mechanical level!

EDIT: and then there's effing autocorrect!!!

Excellent way of making the point: do the same with another phrase that isn't so abused.

Phrase abuse?
