How do you say it? I’ve noticed a lot of people, in real life, on TV and on the Radio saying ON line lately.
Is that the proper way to say it?

IN the line, this drives me fucking nuts to here people (NYCers) say on line.
You stand **within** the line, or stand in **a** line
therefore you stand in line.
You don’t stand ON LINE unless you are standing on a line, which you still wouldnt say im standing on line. No you say I’m standing on a line…

haha, yeah… heard it on their show first and thought it was a goof (trying to get a fad started or something stupid). But then a news anchor said it… now it’s all you ever hear… it’s driving me crazy
