Grammars usually say that for a small place or village one should use AT, while IN is the correct preposition for towns and cities, then "I live IN London, IN Oxford, IN Paris, IN New York and so on, but "I live AT Lee Green", e.g., near London. Is it really the way people normally use these two prepositions for places or simply a strange rule most people ignore and then USE ONLY "IN" for every place, small or big?
I don't mean school, hospital, supemarket, gym and so on, but only VILLAGES and TWONS where people may live or work. Thanks.
