Now we need to eradicate the last vestiges of the use of "on accident" and the positive anymore.

Positive anymore: "I eat meat anymore" → "I didn't eat meat before, and (but) I do now"

what-the-hell

Must have said this on accident because you know people who didn't before will use it against you anymore

ha, just start that sentence with "Must of" to really rustle my jimmies.

I love positive anymore in certain limited circumstances but most of the examples on that page are rough lol

on accident is never going away though, kids still say that, and they're my barometer

I don't think it's based on age but region. I grew up on the east coast and never encountered it until I saw it in online comments. I thought it was a mistyping until I learned that there are swathes of the American population that really speak like this!

yeah maybe, but in my region, its still going strong into the next generation, unlike saying pop or whatever which is fading
