It is used quite a lot, it's become a meme on here in the manner of putting 'pearoast' or a length joke at the end
But please, for the love of God, when you're writing such a high and mighty condescending post about other people's use of English, make sure you have some idea what you're talking about first! The usage you quote, as other people have pointed out, is absolutely fine.

It just makes you look like a bit of a tosser.
