Ha ha! That always confuses me in English. They are married to someone, and the "with" part refers to the rest of the family.

What is so weird about this? Never seen "Married with Children"?

Parents need to be canonized, not made fun of.

This isn't even the worst example of bad English.

You don't live in America, but if you did, you'd be driven insane from the bad English in one day.

I hear something like this every single day from some idiot or another: "Me and my wife went to that party." It's becoming common usage among the uneducated hordes here.

So did you call the person an idiot on the spot? Or are you just telling us that the person was an idiot?

I don't know what the big thing is about grammar on a chess site!
