Thought of another one! "On accident" in lieu of "by accident" completely drives me insane. I correct people in my head every time I hear it, and once it accidentally slipped out and I corrected someone verbally. I was so embarrassed!

That is one of my dad's pet peeves. He corrected me so many times as a kid that I NEVER make that mistake!!

Maybe our generation invented this error and our dads reacted appropriately!

I don't know if I should thank my dad for teaching me correctly, or to curse him for giving me a grammar peeve. I suppose it would be more appropriate to curse all the other dads that dropped the ball!

My brother used to say he did things "for an accident." Well, I'm SURE he did! LOLOL!
