Apparently “on accident” has been gaining usage and “by accident” is generally used by the older generations.
I’m 93 so I don’t know where I picked up “on accident” but until this day I haven’t had anyone say anything. How interesting.

Must be just an American thing? I never hear anyone say it here!
Also, could you be on of Lemmy’s oldest users?!

Oh no… I meant 1993 lol.
But I cannot blame you for thinking I meant 93 years old haha. Thats my bad.
I gotta remember to put '93 or just spent the extra few milliseconds to hit the 1 and 9 keys.
Once again my laziness bites me in the ass haha
