I had the television on a little while ago, and while surfing for something that seemed suitable to have on as background while I worked, I came across the Osbourne family show. The brother and sister were having a fight. Later, in telling their parents about it, the boy said, "She came down here and confrontated me". When he addressed his sister, he said, "When you confrontate me..."
Is this becoming common?
