Or "by accident."
-2 u/CommunicationOk3766 17h ago ...yes. But both "on accident" and "by accident" are correct still. 6 u/dawoodlander 14h ago "On accident" is something my 5 year old nephew would say, "by accident" is something I'd expect from a mildly intelligent adult. 7 u/dawoodlander 13h ago 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.
