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

You’re incorrect, “expresso” in French is pronounced /ɛk.spʁɛ.so/.

I’m a snobby barista, so I stick to the more Italian-like prononciation even when speaking French, but the French word expresso is pronounced as its written.

I’ve noticed this in a lot of words watching youtube lately. Excape instead of escape, expecially, etc.
