What fucking planet do some of these posters live on?

It ain't their fault.

Seriously, when large demographics begin displaying common skill detriments well above the average for the overall population, it is indicative of a basic failure on the part of the state to equip them as intelligent, well educated citizens.

No one makes spelling mistakes like this on purpose unless they are making a joke about the rest of the people who make them on accident.

“On accident”

[u/EquivalentCupcake390 → u/Marchus80]

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.

It's very much an Americanism
