Actually I don't consider it to be a grammatical error, but, rather, a
colloquialism.

But please note that the adjective from "grammar" is "grammatical", not
"grammar"!

The trouble with being pedantic about the English language is that you
run the risk of making errors yourself. On the other hand, I'd be a bit
wary of someone who used "i" in a formal document, unless they
happened to be e.e.cummings,
