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

    I have a personal grudge against a Portuguese grammar mistake. The mistake is so basic and heavily predominant that I often question myself if I’m the one writing it wrong. I already know I’m correct but I still google it from time to time. Drives me insane.

    The mistake is something like “Open hours: 9 to 17”. The “to” translates to “às” but a lot of businesses type “ás” or even “hás”. Crazy.

      In Sweden it’s getting increasingly common to write “Open between 9 to 17” which is so wrong it hurts.

      Between 9 to 17 AND WHAT???

      I personally despise people that use “mais” (more/plus) instead of “mas” (but/however) much more than those that don’t know how to use the crase (à, às), though the overlap is huge
