"Hot Mic"

Yeah right.
You guys really think they do this on accident?

1) We have no idea what they are saying in that convo.

2) It's 'by accident' not 'on accident'.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80867101


False, both are correct.

I'm afraid that you are, in fact, incorrect.

"On accident…

A far less commonly used variant of by accident - on accident, is almost exclusively used in the United States - and incorrectly so. Even there, no one uses ‘on accident’ in writing; it's only a spoken English term. In fact, it is considered incorrect to be used at all.

Now, some people tend to use on accident as they rationalize that it must follow a similar structure to ‘on purpose’ although the meaning is completely the opposite. Yet another cause of confusion is interestingly the word 'accident' itself!"

Note that rather than someone's opinion on writing, we quote.. <gasp>... grammar.com?

Yeah, I'm one of those. I can deal with bad grammar (barely) but it really grinds my gears when people DEFEND bad grammar.

Having said that, I hope you have a good day!
