I just thought about this, and YES, it is a meaningless pedantic silly thought on my part.
Humans say, "I live in" (insert geographic location here.)
"I live in America", or "I live in China" or, "I live in Japan", or "I live in Iran", or "I live in Ghana", or "I live in Mexico", ect ect ect.
#1 we all live on the same planet.
But I since gravity, while we can fly, and have even escaped earth's gravity, when we talk about "living", we really live on the surface of the planet, not in it. So wouldn't it be more accurate to say "I spend most of my time living on America's surface?"
I remember seeing a show called, "You Live In A What?" And one guy bought an old cold war missile silo and turned it into a private house. If you are living underground, then you can say, "I live in". But if you live on the surface, then you are "living on."
