"on accident" vs. "by accident"
Grammar Expert, Growing up my mother was adamant we use "by accident" and "on purpose" vice "on accident", which is quite common in my home town. I met a middle school English teacher who wasn't familiar with my mother's rule. Therefore, I'm now curious if it was my mother's personal preference or if she was following a grammar rule? Please clarify. Thank you, D.J.
Djt, your mother was correct. The preposition that goes with accident is by, not on. By accident has the same meaning as the adverb accidentally or the prepositional phrase by chance.
By the way, we don't use by accident, nor the other 2 synonyms I mentioned above, to refer to an unfortunate happening that causes injury, harm or loss; for that meaning, we use accident as a noun: She had a car accident, but she wasn't hurt.
Thanks for the clarification, but your answer has brought up a new question. I am trying to teach my child better grammar. So, when he says something like, "I broke the vase on accident." How do you recommend I correct him? I would normally say, "You broke the vase by accident or accidentally."

Mr. Mooney,Do you have any official reference that states by is the preposition that goes with accident? I can't seem to find one. There are several articles stating that the change is just part of our changing language and that as people over 40 die off "on accident" will be the more acceptable phrase. If a professor, Leslie Barratt, Professor of Linguistics at Indiana State University, is willing to adapt and determine grammar is acceptable because it is more widely used, I seriously question our education system and whether the grammar rules have a firm foundation. Are grammar rules rules or personal preferences? I'm open to answers from any and all grammar experts.
