My guess is that it's somehow related to "high Mass" as opposed to low, but that assumes that anyone still knows what a high Mass is. Or was.

And don't get me started about "Harry and me." Just...don't. Or Harry and I in the wrong place or...it's endless.

The irony, of course, is that the "for Harry and I" crowd no doubt sneers inwardly at the "for Harry and me" users.

If you desire real, masochism-addressing pain, turn on any news station, cable, satellite, you name it and actually listen to what those people SAY aloud for 30 minutes. You'll reduce yourself to tears.

The noise of a tv reduces me to tears regardless of content, therefore it's almost entirely eschewed, so that's an an added pain I've been spared. News is for reading, and while that's not proof against solecism, at least the broadsheets get it better than most.
