>>24960712i get sniffed out for messing up my in, on and at's fuck my stupid esl life
>>24960712I'm with the plane.
>>24960787>fuck my stupid esl lifeAgreed. Final chapter soon?

>>24960804You need maids and gardeners so we'll be sticking around
>>24960807Irrelevant
>>24960809We don't fucking need 100 million of them
>>24960712On Because that's how we talk
>>24960712You're always IN any vehicle. I don't give a fuck what anyone says. You're IN a bus. IN a train. IN a plane. You're not sitting on their roof. The only vehicle you're "on" is a bike or a horse.
>>24960829What about a rowboat?
>>24960712Bane
I'm ON the trainI'm IN my carI'm ON the wayI'm not too farI'm IN trafficI'm ON the pissI'm IN the paddywagon, LizI'm sorry,could tell the kids:Daddy won't be homeFor Christmas
>>24960829You're sitting ON cushion in any vehicle ever so your logic fails
>>24960712Both are fine but have different connotations? 'on' emphasizes the traveling process: you're on the road, on the bus, on a train, on a plane. it vaguely implies hitching along or utilizing its service. you're on it now, and will go off later. 'in' emphasizes the closed space nature of the plane: you're in a plane, looking out of the window. in the plane it is warm, outside it is snowing.
>>24960872on the plane form denver to new yorkI'm in the plane listening to music
>>24960852
>>24960712crashing
What's hard about it? You're on the plane /to/ somewhere, while being in the plane.
I'm at the plane
>>24960712You'd have to be a real up-your-own-ass faggot to correct someone on this kind of word usage here.
>>24960712More like "in" like "I'm in your mom"
>>24960829Retard ESL nonwhite alert. One is on planes, trains and ships. Except small like two-seater planes which one is in. A white native English speaker knows this instinctively.
>>24960829You are Indian.
>>24960913Right, the plane is carrying you, but so would a car be. The difference is due to the fact that we are not the ones operating the plane.
>>24960829Jannies should ban all the ESL apes who outed themselves in this thread
>>24960935>This makes /lit/tards piss and shit their pants>most of /lit/ is nonwhiteChecks out.
>>24960712you're on the plane because the engine's in the back
>>24960829>in a busISHYGDDT
>>24960829>Are you on your way?>Yes, I’m in the bus
>>24960872Only correct answer.>>24960807Correct question
>>24960712For ESLs that unironically don’t know, native English speakers say “on the plane”. >>24960872 and other anons ITT explain the nuance. You say you’re in the plane if the context requires you to specify that you’re inside, eg you’re talking to a friend on the phone while boarding.
You get on the plane to be in the plane.It's on if you're outside or speaking to someone outside."We're in."They're on.We got on.Where in here?
>>24960951That's what I thought, too, but you would say you're /in/ a helicopter while it's being operated by another, and you're /in/ the car while it's being operated by another also!I would love to know whether there really is any hard and fast grammatical logic here, or is it really just tradition-based and essentially a shibboleth to non-native speakers.
>>24960872What if I'm in an Uber? In a Taxi? Therein I am hitching a ride and/or utilizing its service, I'm in it now, and will get out later.I think you're nearly spot on with your definition for the use of 'on' but a clause could be added that it implies the destination of the thing you're using is independent of your own destination.Thoughts?
>>24961042And then bicycles, scooters, motorbikes are excluded, since their use of 'on' is an entirely different definition relating to the location of the speaker being physically 'up-on' the means of transport.
Pic related is in the plane which makes no sense
on: passenger deckin: storage compartment
"On" is used to mean on board, which is a later form of aboard. In any context where on board would not fit, you say "in", but such cases are rare
>>24960712I'm the plane
I AM THE PLANE.
>>24961221PLEASE, LEAVE, HIVEMIND AVTOMATON.
>>24961221>>24961224>>24961225kek
>>24960712Im riding the plane
>>24960712Depends on what frame of reference.>relative to the plane, you are stationaryI'm in the plane (emphasizing structure)>relative to the earth, you are moving quicklyI'm on the plane (emphasizing transportation)The subtle difference is one implies movement, the other doesn't.
>>24960712on an plane, in an stewardess
>>24960829are you in the phone too?
