Sorry, posted the countdown clock post here on accident. It’s supposed to be on the Peninsular Thinking blog. We’ve got a different countdown clock on this site.
Kitsap Caucus A blog about politics and government in Kitsap County as well as Washington state political news as it relates to Kitsap County.
I think that you meant to say “by accident”, not “on accident”.
Yes, you hear people speak this way often, but it is not correct.
@Correct Your English,
I was all ready to correct it, to show the error of my ways. Then I thought maybe I ought to check with another source. Lo and behold, to say it is “not correct” may be not correct.
Consult with the Grammar Girl.
