We wait "in line" for various things; rides at the amusement park, check-out lane at the grocery store, getting a driver's license at the BMV. Lately, somehow it has been catching on to say, "waiting on line," for these same type of things.
Q: Who was the genius who decided to be catchy, trendy and cute by complicating our language? When I am waiting "on line" for something it is in front of the computer for an iTunes download or placing an order at another "on line merchant" NOT standing behind some other person who is waiting "in" the same line as I am.
