In / At a time

[googlemail]

Hi everyone,

My question concerns the following sentence.

In a time when so many spheres of life are being exposed to greater scrutiny, should we expect anything less?

Can I replace "In a time" with "At a time" ?

Regards,

Yes, we could. I'd say that 'in'refers to a longer period of timeand 'at' to this moment.;-)

Good distinction. :wink:
