[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these are clearly regional based on some of the posts. And dialect differences around the country are interesting, although they have certainly diminished. My dad said that when he was growing up you could barely understand an Iowan (he grew up in northern MN) but radio and TV eventually changed that. I never heard [b]"on accident"[/b] until not many years ago. I remember my mom at times saying she was "shook." She could also be "put out" (annoyed) but when I used that phrase to my manager (from Chicago) he understood a very different meaning. [/quote] Gosh "on accident" hurts my ears but my kids have pointed out that it's perfectly fine to say "on purpose" so there ya go. [/quote]
