For the record, Rayanne is a good friend of mine and I did this post for fun, because I thought it was interesting to look at the variations of "in" and "on" in this context, and not to be critical of "Ms. Langdon."

Don’t you mean “stick a fork in the road?” :)

Reminds me of a very deep conversation a few of us here had about the proper use of the apostrophe. (Sadly, the conversation was with my children, and I lost...) I think I'd stick with "fork IN the road"! Enjoyed this very much. Reminds me of a very deep conversation a few of us here had about the proper use of the apostrophe.

Spot on as the Brits say, and they say some funny things, like "I grew up in Kings Cross." (I grew up on Templeton Ct.) They also say "in hospital," and "at university," omitting the possibly unnecessary "the." Joel Mari,

And some people have entirely no sense of humor. And some people are both. :eye roll: Saying that, I think what you posted, JR, was hilarious - then again, I *got* it. ;) "Turn left at the fork in the road." And now I hear Fozzy Bear saying, "Hey Kermit!" And in England, exactly where we aren't, it's common to say "such and such store or house is located in the Haverly Road" or "she lives in Putney Street" by way of example just off the top of my head. In my writing, I'm bad for putting "she sat in the floor" or "the baby played in the floor" or "the spoon fell into the floor". But the part of Kentucky I grew up in, that's how we talked, and some habits are just hard to break. I've had to train myself to search / replace for "in the floor" before I send any stories / sections out to readers. :) I think some people are just too uptight about grammar and grammar usage.
