according to me

0Google yields lots of sentences and phrases including "according to me". so far, I have learnt that we can't use "01b00according to"02b00 with 01b00"me".02b00Instead we should use 01b00"in my opinion".02b00 Then why do they read so in Google? When do we use according to and when not?02br
