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

    uses ‘s for literally everything

    literally everything

    literally

    I’ve got news for you.

    Okay, honestly, I do have a choice each day about which tickets I work in which order, and ‘literally’ isn’t the only reason a ticket will be the Very Last one I schedule. There’s also ‘emails’, ‘the ask’, ‘the spend’, and a list of other pathetic Used Car Salesman words.

    And I don’t want to stand in the way of people’s success; especially when they don’t know their nouns from their verbs and are just trying to get through the day before their crayons run out. But people who can use words property will get a bonus of being first.

      Lmao, I actually debated whether to say “literally”.

      I typically hate that word too. But I wanted to convey that it’s a constant thing, not a fluke. He thinks it’s a “literary rule”. So using “literally” seemed… “literally” appropriate.
