You’re somehow making this sound more fun than it should be.

Well when's the last time you tried it? It's quite the sensation

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You got a laugh outta me, but damn, maybe you should go to therapy Gary.

I've been trying to find it but struggling. It was a tweet, originally in another language, that someone translated to English and posted a screenshot of (to R*ddit I think) which said (paraphrasing) "Biden looks like he crapped his pants on accident, and Bibi looks like he crapped his pants on purpose" and it was in response to an article featuring this photo

Geopolitics and crapping one's pants

On *mistake. Sorry for my ungood grammar, essell

no you're good, on accident is right

for mistake, though, it would be by mistake

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

“On accident” is not right. “By mistake”, “by accident”, opposite of “on purpose”

"On accident" can't be right because it makes me want to chop off all your fingers so you can never type again

[–] HyonoKo@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I felt the same before I moved to a foreign country and didn’t have the privilege anymore of speaking perfectly without any effort. Now I have become more tolerant and it makes me feel good.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I did exactly the same thing, and it's difficult. Particularly at an older age!

But it's not learners that make mistakes like saying "on accident", it's mostly native speakers. And then they pass on their mistakes to non native speakers

It's perfectly fine to call them out on it.

[–] HyonoKo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Agree, I didn’t see it from that perspective.

I should run a dating service

So long as you're not doing the spelling and grammar for the advertising

[–] Doxanarchy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It should be "by accident", "on accident" is incorrect.
