Mine’s that people who insist on correcting others grammar on internet forums are little shits who peaked in grade six as a teacher’s pet and get off on exerting their “superiority” on others.

Fuck you “less than” is just better than “fewer then.” Think I’m wrong, tell me what these symbols are called “< >” that’s what I thought loser.

    I think this is a dialectical thing! Iirc, in the US it’s more common to say “on accident” and in the UK it’s “by accident”, but I’m not certain

      I’m not sure I’ve heard someone say on accident it’s always by accident in the PNW (West Coast USA)

        PNW here as well, I only hear ‘on accident’. It makes more sense than ‘by accident’ since we also say ‘on purpose’ and not ‘by purpose’.

        Repping East Coast, that’s what we say, or simply, “accidentally.”
