Poss an ENGVAR issue, but "situated along" a road sounds odd to UK ears. We might say "along the road from" another landmark, or that something travels along a road. Is there anything offensive to US ears in "situated on" said road, in the interests of MOS:COMMONALITY? Kevin McE (talk) 13:02, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- There's an argument that "along" can mean "accessible from" rather than "on". I haven't checked the sources. West Virginian, thoughts? (They haven't edited since September 21, so they might not respond.) - Dank (push to talk) 16:19, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- The photo purports to have been taken from the road, and unless a large zoom were used, it would seem to fit with being on the road. The address is given as 32049 Northwestern Turnpike, suggesting it is on that road. Kevin McE (talk) 18:04, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, "on" sounds fine then. - Dank (push to talk) 18:11, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
