The Sun'll Come Out On Tomorrow

Posted: 9/9/09 at 8:58am

I have a coworker who says (and emails and memos) the phrase "on tomorrow". "We will have a conference call on tomorrow." "She is waiting for a reply on tomorrow." Is the use of on before the word tomorrow correct? It sounds awkward to me.

No, it isn't correct. Not in English, anyway.

Does she also say "on today" and "on yesterday"?

Maybe she heard "on the morrow" in some Shakespeare play, and it stuck.

People say it here all the time and even my English teacher in High School said it. It has always driven me crazy.

"Youse don't know how to talk very well."

It's 'very good', not 'very well'.

I have never heard anyone say "on tomorrow." How annoying.

A good friend of mine says "those are mines." As in, she pluralizes the adjective. Drives me nuts. (Also, she's a journalist!)

All kidding aside, the grammar exhibited in jest here is used all the time in our town. It's a constant struggle to make sure my kids speak properly. The youngest is fourteen, and so far, so good.

There is one bit of misspoken grammar that drives my mother up a wall. When someone says "big of a" as in "big of a deal." She gets annoyed because that is wrong. It is supposed to be "not that big a deal" rather then "not that big of a deal."
