*on the fifth?

Yes, I expected that :)
Well, you're right, I thought it was a mistake myself, but I realized that *in* is also very much in use. So, I'm not sure (just wished to add another variant). If it's nevertheless a mistake, I'll change it.

"I work in the fifth floor office" is OK
but here IN refers to the office, not to the floor

Thank you both.
So, should I delete my sentence? (as the variant you're offering already exists, and even on the same thread, linked to another sentence).

Eldad Eldad February 18, 2012 February 18, 2012 at 7:20:46 AM UTC link Permalink

I'll simply change it; hopefully, it will then be merged successfully with the other variant.

how about changing to
My office is located on ...

Thanks, accepted and changed.
