Whenever there is a discussion about/on books, somebody will inadvertently mention classics.

Can I use either pronoun?

Thanks.

Many thanks, 5jj, for pointing out the mistake. It should be a preposition. I don't why I am often careless. It's part of aging, I suppose. :-?

I wonder whether you mean inevitably instead of inadvertently.

I rarely accidentally blurt out something about a classic.

Hello Barb

I have checked. The writer must have used the wrong word.

Thanks for pointing out the error.
