We discussed this phrase a while back. In Michigan we say we are "in line" for something. Someone mentioned that in New York they say waiting "on line". Well, I was watching an episode of Kate And Allie , which is set in New York City,and Kate mentioned waiting "on line". I had never heard that before. Where you live how do you phrase it? :confused:

I thought you were in Cornwall with Jason Walton.

Holy moly, that was one of the first threads I started here (wish I could find it)

I remember being smacked down for saying "on line", but if I have Kate and Allie on my side I feel totally vindicated.

IN LINE!!! I’m sorry but when I’m in New York and hear “on line,” it drives me absolutely mad. It makes zero sense!

Everyone around here says in line. Waiting "on line" sounds like you're waiting via the internets.

In parts of Europe I think they say "in queue".

Exactly! Thank you! The next time someone asks me if I'm "on line" I'm going to tell them I'm pretty much always online, thanks to T-Mobile.

It's okay that you're wrong. Don't be mad about it. Live and learn :wave:

Nope. But it's okay that you like to use expressions that don't make any sense. :violin:

We all have our preferences!

Please point out where I used "in line", the expression that doesn't make sense :confused:

This thread should probably be moved to the politics section. :eek: It's way too controversial.

Unless you're hovering over a line of people, you're certainly not "on" a line, gurl.
