When did "on" replace other prepositions like "by" and "in" everywhere?

"It happened by accident" is now "it happened on accident"

"Waiting in line" (as in physically standing behind and/or in front of people) is now "waiting on line".

It's not just the netgens -it's creeping into boomer speak.

Marc Garneau. I finished his book two weeks ago, had the chance to meet him and shake his hand last September. I've benefitted directly from his leadership of the CSA.

For many reasons, I think a national period of mourning would be appropriate. 👨‍🚀🪦

The Sens are the Monty Python parrot. Not dead, just resting. They'll run the next 4 and Ridly Greig will hammer in a slapper on an empty net in the 3rd period.

Sharing this with a friend who genuinely believes federal ballots are scanned using a "Scantron" and the LPC is encouraging CPC voters to mark their ballots with pen because the machines can't read pen.
Scrutineers (volunteers who are literally there to just watch and make sure nobody's doing anything shady, you can sign up to do this with Elections Canada!) & candidates can watch the count too. The amount of ballots in the box MUST match the ballots you recorded going into the box during the day.

That CPC golf ad is... Bad. Y'all "had to pay for the down payment" on your adult children's homes. With the money you made from skyrocketing house prices set by people like you to find your Florida retirement homes? The same house prices your kids can't afford?

Really proud of my nephew for stepping forward to take public office. He didn't get enough signatures to be an official candidate, but one day he is going to be rising in the House to say "Mr/Madam Speaker......."

I wonder where they stand on chainsaws in auditoriums?

(This is sarcasm: Of course we know where they stand... CPSC are good humans)

This really is outstanding training. It may be the most immediately-practicable training I've ever taken, and it's extremely important.

Couldn't make the Minnesota v. Ottawa #PWHL game tonight, but I'm looking forward to watching the game later, especially to see Finnish 🇫🇮 ringette superstar Susanna Tapani in her 🏒 mode.

Ringette makes strong hockey players.

That thrill when your daughter breaks her scoreless streak and puts a ring past the goalie on a slick breakaway.
