Plan to crack open a cold one (or two, or three) tonight, watch 24, and play with the kids.

Honors B.A. in Geography with a GIS minor. What I will use it for, I have no clue!
You will use it to make products that spy on the rest of us from space. Who are you kidding? Google Earth MFrs. :boxing_smiley:
I have a B.A. in English Language and Literature, with honors.
My honors project was in poetry.
I have only used it to write rap for an offshore forum.
Oh yeah.... and for jobs.

Alright Mr. English, here is my question. Why is it that in the English language we use the "in" for somethings and "on" for others. Like you are on an airplane, on a bus, but in a car and in a helicopter? I've been debating this all day.

situational prepositionisms, hmmm.
Ok... we mostly say "on" when it's a public group thing: "on a tour" "on a bus" "on a plane" "on an escaltor" "on a wagon" because I think in the old days, anything with a group element was not an enclosure. Like on horse. I suppose that there was "in a carriage" But you were still "on a train." On a boat. You are physically "on" the thing. Like, standing on it.
You are in a car and in a helicopter because you are enclosed.
In a house, in a room, in a garage, in a bilge.
The difference is in the subject's position relative to the object.

Hmm, interesting. I was looking at some of my older essays from first year, and I remember being worried about what to write for 1500 words. I just wrote 3k words for 2 essay questions off the top of my head. Things have come a loooong way!
