<<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.>>

bus and on the bus?>>
Little if any, which is why I didn't address it.
