Made this meme a while ago from that tweet but never shared it
On *mistake. Sorry for my ungood grammar, essell
no you’re good, on accident is right
for mistake, though, it would be by mistake
It should be “by accident”, “on accident” is incorrect.
“On accident” is not right. “By mistake”, “by accident”, opposite of “on purpose”
“On accident” can’t be right because it makes me want to chop off all your fingers so you can never type again
I felt the same before I moved to a foreign country and didn’t have the privilege anymore of speaking perfectly without any effort. Now I have become more tolerant and it makes me feel good.
I did exactly the same thing, and it’s difficult. Particularly at an older age!
But it’s not learners that make mistakes like saying “on accident”, it’s mostly native speakers. And then they pass on their mistakes to non native speakers
It’s perfectly fine to call them out on it.
So long as you’re not doing the spelling and grammar for the advertising
You’re somehow making this sound more fun than it should be.
Well when’s the last time you tried it? It’s quite the sensation
You got a laugh outta me, but damn, maybe you should go to therapy Gary.
What’s the reference lol
Found it!
I’ve been trying to find it but struggling. It was a tweet, originally in another language, that someone translated to English and posted a screenshot of (to R*ddit I think) which said (paraphrasing) “Biden looks like he crapped his pants on accident, and Bibi looks like he crapped his pants on purpose” and it was in response to an article featuring this photo
Geopolitics and crapping one’s pants
meeeeee :3
