This error appears regularly in published works, and surprisingly often in academic books. More usually, only one part of the phrase is mangled, but today’s example follows through:
 |
| Robert A. Blank, The Price of Life: The Future of American Health Care (New York and Chichester: Columbia University Press, 1997), p. 31. Online: Google Books |
There are many more examples online: this morning, a Google Books search on the first part of the mangled phrase returned over 1,230 examples, and a search on the second part found over 1,060. A broader Google web search returned much higher results: 41,600,000 and 92,400,000 respectively. (In the latter case, the first two appear to be false positives, although these are likely to indicate an earlier error, now corrected.)
