	Kooyeen  #510037  Mon, 05 May 08 08:43 PM Yep, it should be ON. Data is usually ON a storage medium. Data on a server, on a magnetic disk, on your PC, on a DVD. But I'm afraid it's IN the RAM. Prepositions in English are a mess, I hate prepositions!    Kooyeen Joined on Thu, Dec 22 2005 Italy Senior Member (3,798) Parental Advisory - Explicit Posts

You should try Italian.  They've only got three prepositions and they can mean anything and everything you want, so you never know which one is right!  Hee, hee, hee!  CJ     CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member (16,490) "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche

Just teasing, I know they're basically only 9! And I agree with Kooyeen about prepositions in English. < /off-topic >    Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea Contributing Member (1,913) A man can do only what he can do.

	CalifJim  #510084  Mon, 05 May 08 11:00 PM  Hee, hee.  I knew I'd get a rise out of somebody!  The three most overworked are di, a, and in, I think.  Poor guys.  They have to do almost everything. My point is that language pairs work both ways.  What's a headache going in one direction is almost always a headache going in the reverse direction! So don't feel like the lone ranger!  We English speakers have just as much trouble learning other languages as you do learning English!    CJ     CalifJim
