<<Well, that's fine for you, but I hear it all the
time. So what does this tell us?>>

It means, as I said, that I've never heard it.  

And I'll take your word, but I doubt very much you
hear it all the time, unless you spend your time with
people who speak Enlgish as a second language.  I
mean, look at your example:  A book review written by
Lola Grau, Centro de Formación, Innovación y Recursos
Educativos (CEFIRE) de Godella, Spain. 

<<Also, standing in the corner means something quite
different from standing on or standing at the corner
unlike, e.g., in line/on line.

Of course it does.>>

Of course it does.  So you're misleading Otto somewhat
offering it as an example.

<<What the difference between between riding in the
bus and on the bus?>>

Little if any, which is why I didn't address it.
