Off-Topic / Standing "On" Line
« on: July 05, 2010, 06:58:04 pm »Message ID: 202558
I have been noticing when reading or watching tv, people from out west or up north (I'm in Tennessee) say "Standing On Line" instead of "Standing In Line". I really don't get it, because you are not standing ON top of a line of people, you are standing IN the midst of a line of people. I'm pretty sure everyone in the South says standing in line.
What do you say wherever you are?
If anyone has any other phrases that people say differently in other parts of the country, post them. I think it is really interesting!
