On accident

I kind of can’t take people seriously when they say On accident, I don’t know or care if its more or less grammatical, it sounds like a child sputtering in my mind. It should be By accident or accidentally

Tummy

Any adult has zero business saying this lol

    The way most people in my region pronounce the words “jewelry” and “realtor” really annoys me. I’m in the tiny minority who pronounces them the way I do, so I never say anything. But the locals almost all add a “LUH” to the middle. It’s an extra syllable that just isn’t in the spelling.

    They say jew-LUH-ree and ree-LUH-ter. I pronounce these jewel-ree and reel-ter. I’m absolutely delighted when I hear someone say them the “correct” way, like I do.

    Similar thing for how most around here say the year. When people say “two thousand and twenty-four” it grinds my gears. Just say “twenty twenty-four”, FFS.
