It's an example of slang local way of speaking that is not correct, which I'm presuming is the same for this phrase you claim to hear a lot. A phrase that has caught on with people even though it is technically not correct.

"Once a text has been drawn up the process is only half way through: as a matter of fact, barely nobody can produce a perfect draft, hence the final version is achieved through accurate proofreading."
This is the first sentence on a PROOFREADING website! http://ebl-italia.it/en/Services/Proofreading/

"EBL Italia not only translates texts but also revises pre-translated material and monolingual texts that need to be polished and perfected by our linguists.
Game, set and match to me I think!

Some of the most famous exponents of the English language were Irish.
Yeats, GB Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Johnathan Swift, and more.

Correction, you only come on here late at night to try and have an argument, any argument, because you're bored and you sleep until mid-day!
