Diving into evening work, hopefully with something to show for it for you folks soon.
Question before I go:
We all have grammatical gripes... but what's a grammatical "error" that you find pretty darned cute or satisfying, even if you wouldn't use it yourself?
I heard someone say "on accident" today, and to me it just sounded adorable. Maybe because it's nonstandard usage unwittingly used *by* accident around that same phrase?
What linguistic bastard child is *your* cutie-patootie of choice?
😬 I mean, maybe only one in the vicinity that's covered by their insurance...? If that?!
But we say this in Canada, too, so who the heck knows, eh?
@MLClark In the UK, it is simply "I had to go to hospital." If there's more than one locally, we would ask "Which one?"
