On the list is more appropriate,but in the list is still not out of place depending on what situation its used for. My opinion sha,as I await d response of other Lib readers.~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310.
On the list is the correct phrase. List does not have inside and outside but may be front and back. We write on the paper (list) not in the paper. It can be on page so so so... in ABC book
Depending on the context in which they are used, both would be correct. For example; 1. "He is No. 1 on the list of most eligible bachelors in town". 2. "Is your name in the list of invited guests"?.
It depends on the context you are using both because its a preposition and can be used interchangeably. Although I've heard people say "in the list", I would go with "on" the list. For example, I would make a list "on" a sheet of paper and not in a sheet of paper. When your place something on a surface it's "on" the surface and not "in" the surface; (pen on the table, bag on the bed, shoe on the floor....etc), but something with an opening has to be placed inside the opening not on the opening; (water in the refrigerator, books in a box, money in your handbag....etc).
Linda Linda you don go London abi u com come back with this one agbaya clap for urself English no be our language i suggest make u ask patience Jonathan this question. but make i answer you the answer is on the list
To my own understanding. When u say in the list is correct,depending how u speak it. Example, I will include ur name in the list . Or, some also say,my name was on the list. But ur name can be on a shirt. So I will say they r both correct. Just use each at d appropriate time. Juicy...
I agree that "on a list" is what I would generally expect people to use. And, what if it's not written on a piece of paper? Let's say, in a file of a computer system or database? And, does this imply that British speakers use "in" with "list" and not "on"?
Here more examples: 1. There were some surprising inclusions in the list. 2. Your name comes after mine in the list. 3. To her dismay, her name was not on the list. 4. It did not figure high on her list of priorities. I would also agree that "in the list" is possible in sentence 2. However, the use of "on" in a sentence like number 2 would not be at all unusual.
I imagine that if you wanted to add someone or something to a list in a certain place, and you used a verb such as "insert", then "in" (or "into") would probably be a more likely choice than "on".
In addition, I think the use of "in" is a bit dependent on how exactly the speaker is looking at a list. If the speaker is referring to one item among (i.e. "inside of" / "surrounded by" / "embedded in") many, there again the use of "in" might be more likely.
I suspect there is a slight usage difference between BE and AmE as regards the usage of "in/on a list", but my guess would be that it is not a huge difference. REPLY
