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

    That’s the official recommendation from LEGO as well. I found a piece of paper that mentions this in the box of one of my dad’s old LEGO sets.

      They don’t want their brand to be turned into a generic word. It’s for the same reason Google doesn’t like it if you refer searching the internet as “googling” regardless of which search engine you use.
