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

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

| 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.
