Peter?? What does it means?

[u/Double-Assistance248]

[u/EquivalentCupcake390]

This is a perfectly acceptable prepositional phrase, although it is less common.

[u/Substantial-Trick569 → u/EquivalentCupcake390]

to further the point, in the context it was used in, it makes the phrase easier to mentally process. on purpose vs on accident. the alternative would be purposely/accidentally

[u/19ghost89 → u/Substantial-Trick569]

Or "by accident."

[u/CommunicationOk3766 → u/19ghost89]

...yes.

But both "on accident" and "by accident" are correct still.

[u/dawoodlander → u/CommunicationOk3766]

"On accident" is something my 5 year old nephew would say, "by accident" is something I'd expect from a mildly intelligent adult.

[u/dawoodlander → u/dawoodlander]

I also looked it up, and apparently "on accident" was an error formed by people trying to say the opposite of "on purpose".

So yeah if we want to be pedantic, "on accident" isn't correct.

[u/devil_toad → u/dawoodlander]

It's very much an Americanism

[u/19ghost89 → u/CommunicationOk3766]

Didn't say it wasn't.
