I have nothing to worry about while I'm in bermuda. I mean I'm not exactly triangle-shaped. Didn't these people ever have toys as kids? Sheesh!

And the triangle goes in…

The square hole!

And you'd deserve it for saying "on accident"

My childhood fear was getting the vaccine shot for the swine flu which was a big issue in the mid 70's. My 5th grade class received new text books and there was a photo of a kid getting the vaccine shot. Instead of a needle it was delivered by a big device that looked like an uzi machine gun and I was terrified of it. Time passed and I never got the shot. That's when I learned how the news works.

I will never not cringe at "on accident" instead of "by accident"

euchhhh.

Where does this this linguistically phenomenon come from?

Is it a mistaken use of "an accident" with the preposition to reflect the personal involvement?

Mistakes like "Could of" make sense to me because in my accent "could of" and "could've" are identically voiced.

I can also completly understand where we get "alot" because alot is just the beginning of an acorn, minus a few hundred years of lazy pronunciation behind it (an oak corn =acorn)

Google is telling me it's because younger people will use "on accident" as an antonym for "on purpose". That sounds feesible as an origin. Now I'm questioning if "by intent" is grammatically correct, I've been staring at words too long.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

"By intent" doesn't look right to me, I would've said "with intent".
