It is lack of education. It's not even a lazy typo like writing their (belonging to others) and there (a place somewhere else)

I am originally from up North and easily one of my personal pet hates is the use of us to mean me. "Give it to us". Who the **** is us? Me and you? Then I already have it. You mean: you and someone else? There's no one else around for it to be "us". You mean " me", asin yourself, then why not say me. Me has exactly the same amount of letters as " us " so no abbreviation required. "Give it to me". Simple me. No " us" needed.

Even people who don't have English as a second language don't say this. Parents who say it to their children are appalling.
