The "In, On, At" Fever

July 18, 2008

In, On, At…

For two meetings in a row, our English Proficiency Instruction I class with Prof. Monje has been dealing with idioms and their proper usage. It’s just “funny” to know that I have been using the wrong idiom all along, whenever I’m writing essays, formal papers, researches, and blog posts. For this reason, I have reviewed my blog posts and tried to find out how many times I have been mistaken. The result - frequently.

This widespread “In, On, At” fever is very common not only among students but also among the top professionals. Very often, we may encounter mistakes in the usage of these components but most of the time, we are just too busy to notice and probably because the mistake is just minimal. Or maybe, we are also one of those persons who seems to be ignorant of these facts. And I must admit that I, myself, am no exception.

Learning the English Language is a step by step process. You cannot learn it perfectly in just one sitting. Know the fundamentals and continue with the complicated ones. The “In, On, At” fever is just one of the English Impediments we encounter. But we must not be afraid to commit mistakes. All along, no one’s perfect therefore all of us commit a lot of mistakes.

P.S. I’m currently woking on it. I’ll try to progress in English. At present, I will just continue practicing.

Share and Enjoy:
