do you say ON accident or BY accident?

[Obibun]

Oh i was by no means saying that english is the only crazy one. Hell china is having a hell of a time with their language for example.

Like chingchonganese is even a real language. GAI MU LEE DEI JON.

As much as i think Aus, NZ, U.S and other "new worldish" countries would like to claim screwing england out of their own language. I think it was actually well screwed before any of our countries were discovered. Half the problem is its a mish mash between several euro languages. So it doesn't have as strict a grammar structure as other languages.

That is the beauty of the English language. Tons of ways to say the same thing.

If I didn't already know, I would've pegged you as inherently German because of that quote. ;D

Dammit I lived in Germany and a share many of their common ideas, but I am not German. I'm Swedish, I'm American, but I'm not German! I love those goofy bastards, but I'm definitely not one of them.

 

[Radon006]

it's fucking BY accident .. you do things BY accident...
doing them ON accident is too close to sounding like ON purpose.

your thoughts

How is ON accident any better/worse than ON purpose?????!?!?!?!?!

 

[Uncle Slappy]

I usually say accidentally.

 

[Pirate Steve]

i haven't really thought about it either way. I am sure I have heard both and I probably have said both. "by accident" makes more sense but language is a funny thing

 

[Varnish]

[GreyGhost]

[eggo]

i say both, i know "on" accident is retarded, but hey, no one is perfect

 

[aScotiA]

i say on accident by purpose just to annoy people like you

 

[CelticMojo]

besides what does it really fucking matter anyway. We are all going to die.

 

[[SES]BaNsHee]

Always heard both and I say by accident. As long as I know what they are saying I dont give a fuck.

 

[Evil Engineer]

LET'S DO COKE!

 

[Alekhine]

"On accident" is wrong:

on accident <--click

 

[Benzer]

It was an accident. I did it accidentally.

 

[CelticMojo]

Who invented this shit? Lets ask them. as far as I am conserned it doesn't fucking matter. on or by.. I understand what you are fucking saying.

 

[Arachno]

On accident is British English, you American fucks.
