On accident

I kind of can’t take people seriously when they say On accident, I don’t know or care if its more or less grammatical, it sounds like a child sputtering in my mind. It should be By accident or accidentally

Tummy

Any adult has zero business saying this lol

    I hate when people say “rezourceful” instead of “resourceful.” Also I don’t care if it’s spelled “pronunciation”, I will spell it “pronounciation” and say it the same way. You don’t “pronunce” words, you “pronounce” them.

    I don’t like that in UK English, they say people are “at hospital” and “he went to ground.” No, he’s at “a/the hospital” and he went to “the ground.” Pace is not something you have, it’s something you set. Collective singular nouns take a singular verb. Manchester City is, not Manchester City are.

      at hospital

      At work, at school, etc. are doing the same thing in US English. People are generally not saying “at my/the/a school/work”.
