My wife uses the former, I use the latter. I never heard it until I met her (and her family) and now I am starting to hear it more often. Anyone else familiar with this? I think her way is wrong, of course.

In Indiana you more commonly hear "all of a sudden" or "all of the sudden". But the alternative "all the sudden" is still used.
