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

2) It's 'by accident' not 'on accident'.

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!

I despite English and I widely don't give a fuck about its purity...but I'm quite sure we can find other sources saying the opposite.

By accident she entered the wrong lane.
On accident the name was relised by the press

They are both correct

No - no, they aren't. In fact, if you parse language, or TRANSLATE to a different language, it's blatantly obvious. You want to make shit up so you can feel right? Fill your boots, it's everyone's right to choose to be only semi-literate.

For those of us that choose to use language PROPERLY, your laziness is sad, but not earthshattering.

You, too, have a good day - you sound like you definitely need one.
