I didn't realize this was a massive controversy until I was in college, but apparently there are two very divided, very entrenched groups of people: those who think that they are waiting "in line" and those who think that they are waiting "on line".
So where do you stand in this most serious of debates?

Online is being connected to the internet or the phone. I've never heard I'm waiting on line.

In what part of the country do people say "I'm on line at the supermarket"? Clicking this thread is the first I've ever heard that even existed.

Waiting "on line" doesn't make any sense at all, unless there is an actual line on the grind that people are standing on.

I have never heard anyone say they were standing on line.
