“in ever corner” or “on every corner”?
0
Media are taking our lives. Nowadays there is a screen turned on in/on every corner.
Cambridge Dictionary says it is on/at every corner. But there are a lot of "in every corner" on the Internet, even more than "on every corner". Are those (in/on/at) all equally correct?

Can you please give more context. What web are you talking about? What do you mean by "screen turned"? If you mean "street corner" there is no "in" because the corners are external corners.

The question in the title is different from the one highlighted. The sentence Nowadays there is a screen turned on in every corner. uses on meaning that the screen is working, it is alight.

@mama - I would interpret that sentence to be speaking of a bar where there are TV screens wherever you look.
