Hello everybody,
First of all, I wish all of you a happy and healthy new year.
Many times I have come across "happen with" instead of " happen to". Is this sloppy English creeping in?
Is there a difference between " What happened to you?" and "What happened with you?"
Here are some websites with explanations and what do you think of them?

Thank you in advance.
