| When does 'wrong' become 'very colloquial'? |

| Its wrong. Very colloquial would be: "Here're the things you asked for." |

| You do hear it quite a lot in the UK, though. |

| As a teacher, I would warn students that it would be marked wrong in most exams. |

| Willbut, going by the same logic, if enough people break the law, does that mean the law is wrong? |

| Although it is wrong, I hear people use this kind of thing all the time. When seeing someone like a relative that they haven't seen in a while they will say "So, how's things going?" It does sound more correct than "How is things going?" but it is wrong. |
