Well I am glad its use is becoming stigmatized. We all make mistakes with language, but this is us business is an epidemic in several northern cities and just makes the speakers seem lazy, selfish or stupid. It's confusing to non locals, ignorant and just plain irritating.
When people in Mongolia can use "me" correctly and North East Englanders can't it's time for change. It's akin to Stephanie not being able to pin point home town Liverpool on a map.
It needs to stop.
