New day, old problem and of course I am curious know everything about three things that's at; in and on of using them corretly at prepositions of place.
In the internet I found everything about them, but I would like to discuss about them usage correctly. This page ( Prepositions of Place: at, in, on ) says we use preposition "at" for "a" point and I agree with this.
But I wouldn't agree with that we use preposition in for an enclosed space and that we use prepostition on for a surface.
My book says correct usage of "in" and "on" depends on American English and British English.
For example: (Information is from my book)

American English - British English
live in on X street- live in X street
on a team - in a team
on the weekend - at the weekend
live in on X street- live in X street
on a team - in a team
on the weekend - at the weekend
Web says:
in a helicopter - on a plane (But they both are in enclosed place)
When I did a test prepositions of place I was confused, I was selected "I live on X street" then the test said that I am not right.
In my opinion when I want to refer place I can use "on" and "in" it doesn't matter. What does native speakers think about it ?
