Q. How do New Yorkers say radiator?

A: No, the pronunciation of “radiator” as RAH-dee-ay-ter (rhymes with “gladiator”) is not unique to Queens. It’s not very common, though. Stewart (an ex-New Yorker) is familiar with it, while Pat (an ex-Iowan) can’t remember ever hearing it.

Q. Do you stand in line or on line?

The Times’s Stylebook weighs in on the matter definitively, saying: Few besides New Yorkers stand or wait on line. In most of the English-speaking world, people stand in line. Use that wording.

Q. Is on line correct?

Online or on-line? The correct way to write this word is online, without a hyphen or space. You may occasionally see online written with a hyphen, but that spelling is very unusual, and I do not recommend that you use it. Some writers and editors will consider it wrong.
