      it seems like it happens enough to be an acceptable alternate way of saying the cost of something; I see it a lot, including (in fact mostly) by native speakers

        In my experience/opinion, native English speakers have a different set of grammatical errors compared to non-natives. Obviously there is an overlap.

        Languages evolve, or we’d all still be grunting the first sounds. “No, the other other rock. Damn, we should come up with more names for things!”

          judging by the votes, people seem to think we’re in disagreement, whereas i think you’re spot-on.

            This is the internet, people are not supposed to just agree on things. That would automatically be “echo chamber”, and bad. Consensus is specifically disallowed.
