Default Re: accident...

where is the choice for "accidentally?" that's the one I use

but for the purposes of this poll, I think "by accident" is the superior choice

Could it be a regional thing? All the people I know who say "on accident" happen to be from the West Coast, more specifically, California. Coincidence or not? Also, they're all in mid twenties ~ early thirties.

I agree with you maryfield. I think behemoth see's you as an [censored] because he has no way to support his opinion (other than by namecalling)... while you do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Here is something to support the fact that "I could care less" is not sarcasm: It's obviously not. This is the exact same evidence as maryfield's whole quoted paragraph (although condensed) with the exception that it's actually true.

I mean, look who says it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow. The phrase "I could care less" is obviously a much stronger social marker than I realized. One of the benefits of observing linguistic habits of societies other than your own is ignorance of these markers. But you're British, right Sam? Do you come across the phrase in London?

And do you have any quarrel with the definition of sarcasm that I am using - i.e., actual meaning being the opposite of the literal meaning of the words used?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I don't come across the phrase in London ever, I've only heard Americans say it. What better proof is there that it's not sarcasm than that?

Yeah I kinda thought you might be somewhat taking the piss.

maryfield48,

You can use any retarded definition of "sarcasm" you want, but it doesn't make you right. The people using the phrase have no intent of using it sarcastically.

The people who use "on accident" are the same people who say "I aksed you a question."
