Nobody tows a party line. They toe it. Big difference.

This error is becoming so widespread, it will sonn be "correct," and 
some self-styled language expert will invent a silly story explaining 
the absuridty of the dead metaphor hidden in the cliche.

And the other error that surprises me when I read it made by supposedly 
well-schooled  people is "Low and behold!" Like, you're supposed to make 
like a melancholy cow?
