I have a question. what's the difference between "in" and "for"? I mean, "Microsoft MVP for Expression Web" and "Microsoft MVP in Expression Web" which one is better?

    I don't use either one. Just Microsoft MVP Expression Web.

     Hi Yoshie. In English, sometimes 1 word is used in the place of a phrase. In this case, "in" is used in the place of "in the area of" or "in the subject of". "for" is used in the same way. But "in" literally means "inside of." "for" literal...ly means "toward" or "facing," but it is used to mean similar ideas, such as "on the behalf of" or "in favor of" or "in the use of." I am sure that the Japanese language has similar kinds of words of phrases, in which a word can be used in different ways to mean things that are similar to the idea that the word represents.

    That was a very good question, by the way!
