Hi,
1: "Don't throw the rice on the floor." Suggests the person did it deliberately.
OR "Don't drop the rice on the ground." Suggests the person is just careless and untidy.
2 In BrE 'on' is used "I punched him on the stomach." And in AmE 'in' is used "I punched him in the stomach." ?
No, both BrE and AmE use only 'in', in my experience.
