Hi, Dave. I'm in Kansas City, MO. I was a little brief in the "wait on/for" thing. Typically, someone will say "I'm waiting for my Social Security check to arrive" or "I'm waiting on my Social Security check", but hardly ever "I'm waiting for my Social Security check". Now that I think about it, it may be more of a Southern thing, imported here from Arkansas.

That plural license thing is a new one to me. The only time I wait "on line" is when the Internet is slow (yuk yuk).
