I see it used in a manner that I would consider wrong so often that I am wondering if it is one of those wacky idioms that English develops up all around the world. Or it could just be young people today with their emo music and Twittering ...

As it turns out, there are many Americans who still believe in finishing words to mark different usage, this heartens me!
