Put your comment on my post. Put your comment at my post. Which one is correct?

I mean to say, which preposition is appropriate for this sentence?

"At"or "on"?

Neither. I suggest - Post your comment on my post.

One does not place the comment on the post. So "on my post" is not an adverbial phrase telling where to put the comment.

Rather, the comment is about (that is, "on") your post. So "on my post" modifies "comment", telling which comment.

So the structure is Post (your comment (on my post)). not Post (your comment) (on my post).

As for "at", that is definitely spatial/positional. But it's imprecise. Depending how the blog works, you might say "Post your comment after my post" or "Post your comment below my post", or even Post your comment above my post".

  • if you have a comment on my post, [please] put it below my post.

In ELL SE, it would be "Post your comment (on my comment) below my comment, and direct it to me by prefacing it with my username and :."
