CT! Yes! I hate when people misuse that word that way -- but you probly hear it way more than I ever did (although I taught HS girls, so maybe not).

Yeah, I know that many dictionaries in the past 5 (10?) years have added the second usage. Dreadful. Almost as bad as "hopefully," although I'm slowly getting used to that one.
The moral of the story? Misuse a word often enough, and it will become accepted usage. And grammar/usage cops everywhere will cry.
