Reword release action "Open in MusicBrainz" #43

Closed MonkeyDo closed 5 months ago

The smallest of typos, but I will surely not be the only one to notice.

I'll be honest that I'd have also written this as "on" (like "watch on YouTube" or "search on Google") but I think you're right that "in" is more correct. 😁

Indeed this is not really a typo but one case where I couldn't decide what is (more) correct. I have been comparing this with related phrases I was more confident about ("Open (this release) in the app" versus "Open (this release) on the website/musicbrainz.org"), but in the end I flipped a coin. After thinking more about it, I also err on the side of "in", but I would like to hear the opinion of our other native speakers @atj and @aerozol here just to be sure :) Or maybe someone has a suggestion for a better wording to avoid having to make a call here?

The English language strikes again... I did a short browse of grammar websites etc, but I still don't really know. It seems that when referring to websites you should use "on". However this is referring to opening a specific item within a website, so "in" feels more natural to me as well. In other words... who knows :P
