Interesting link you posted there, you its MEGO factor was rather high for me. (Incidentally, that construction you mentioned is also one of my pet peeves... probably brought on by my father's rather prescriptive attitude to grammar which he tried to instill in his children.)

  That's one of my pet peeves, too! Try expressing that construction in symbolic predicate logic and see what people are actually saying compared to what they mean.
  
  And while I'm ranting, "a lot" is two words. After all, you wouldn't say, "alittle," would you? (Been griping about this since I first saw it in 1989.)
