And you’d deserve it for saying “on accident”

Don’t forget ‘for no reason’. As opposed to reasonable accidents.

Are accidents an accident if it didn’t happened accidentally?

Isnt “for no reason” referring to why the person feared that, not that the accident had no reason?

Where does this this linguistically phenomenon come from?

Is it a mistaken use of “an accident” with the preposition to reflect the personal involvement?

Mistakes like “Could of” make sense to me because in my accent “could of” and “could’ve” are identically voiced.

I can also completly understand where we get “alot” because alot is just the beginning of an acorn, minus a few hundred years of lazy pronunciation behind it (an oak corn =acorn)

Google is telling me it’s because younger people will use “on accident” as an antonym for “on purpose”. That sounds feesible as an origin. Now I’m questioning if “by intent” is grammatically correct, I’ve been staring at words too long.

“By intent” doesn’t look right to me, I would’ve said “with intent”.

Reminded me of the Bakers emperor where one of his alchemists is trying to split atom with hammer.

Don’t forget quicksand… I spent all my childhood afraid of falling into it. Somehow it was an unwarranted concern.
