Re: ADAD - I dunno. I'm more and more inclined to not do it. 

We'll discuss this later, young lady!


Over the past few years there has been a growing discussion here in the States... back when nothing important was happening and people could focus on meaningless trivial things... as to whether the proper phrase was "standing in line" or "standing on line." 

On line? I had never heard that before until about two years ago, when all of a sudden many people... I suspect more to sound pretentious than anything else... started using it. The claim is that's what people say in New York.

Why would anyone want to be like New York? But I digress.

So, in the UK, do you stand "in queue" or "on queue"?

I would think "in queue," since the queue is the group that is lined up, and of which you become a part.

Or do you simply use the word as a verb, as you have here, "queueing up" or "queueing?"
