Is there any evidence for that?  I would expect that, as a minimum, a grep of
the English WP should be made to see to what extent the incorrect construction
is actually being used, rather than basing this on a, possibly incorrect,
assumption.

Also, has this been closed by group consensus, or is it on your own initiative?
 I would say that this is one place where 'be bold' should not apply.

I vote to reopen, until we have some actual data on which to base the decision.
