Talk:accidentally a word
Latest comment: 5 years ago by Metaknowledge in topic RFD discussion: April–June 2018
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
"(humorous) To unintentionally omit a word." It seems that what is being described here is a grammatical practice (humorously omitting an element of the syntax in order to emphasise an omission of another kind): you can, for example, find deliberate uses of "I accidentally a sentence" in Google. Whatever this is seems more suited to something along the lines of Appendix:English snowclones: it is grammatical, not lexical. I can't imagine any user looking it up, either.

- I was actually going to comment if accidentally a has lexical potential, though perhaps expanding accidentally would suffice. — (((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 16:14, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
