Grammar
"on the window" vs "in the window"
Hi everyone, a bit of a preposition problem here--which sentence reads better/ more correct to you?
a) There's a "baby on board" sign *in* the back window of that car.
b) There's a "baby on board" sign *on* the back window of that car.
Thanks in advance,
TT
