Very grating, I know. I once worked with a fellow who didn't know what "in lieu of" meant. He was forever saying that when he meant "in view of".
E.g., "In lieu of the deadline on this matter I have to ask you to give me your numbers two days earlier than we planned last month."
Nice guy; he was responsible for my entry into the shooting sports, but it hurt to be in the room when he said that.
