      helenhousandi seldo lol I mean as far as I can tell, no one has *any* idea where it comes from? I read into this a while back after an argument over it and NYT's style guide specifies 'in line', but apparently it's prevalent enough that it shows up in stuff like media from New Yorkers like Kubrick.

    helenhousandi seldo But as far as anything I've read has been able to tell it's a phenomenon that can be traced as far back as the 1900s and is isolated to NYC and a few pockets of the northeast and no one knows exactly where it comes from.
