 Re: on and in
First reaction - why on earth should they? There are two different languages evolving. Some might argue that British English must be correct, since the language originated in Britain, but American English has been evolving along its own lines for over 300 years. Some usages are in fact old usages that have been lost in British English.
Second - use whichever you think will be understood. On the whole I do not think in spoken English people lay too much emphasis on this kind of difference. If you meet a look of incomprehension, then try the alternative. |
