Grammar
On or onto
Hi,
“I was frying schnitzels and a few drops of oil splashed on or onto my hands.”
I know that when there’s movement, it should be ‘onto’, but I’ve noticed over the years that people use them pretty much interchangeably.
What do you think?
Thank you.

I would say that "onto" is superior in very careful usage, but in everyday language both sound fine.
