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

    On Lemmy it’s hard to know if it’s their native language or not, be forgiving!

      Mistakes like “you’re” vs “your” are generally not made by people learning English as a second language unless they’ve only learned by speaking (in which case, I’d expect all their spelling to be a mess given that English is a mess). Same with “could of” instead of “could’ve”.
