Although 'involved on' is not so common, I found 168 instances on COCA (http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/).
The problem is semantic. Thus, a grammar rule can find all instances of the terms, but it cannot find only the misused terms. But, all words in English *could be* misused. So, if we start to include this type of rule, where do we stop? In a related reply, Curon wrote: Further to this, 'in' is the dependent preposition of 'involve'. Lists of dependent prepositions can be formed, would this be better as a java rule? For almost every example in the lists, I can find a counter-example (from COCA) that uses a different preposition. For example, refer to www.englishpracticeonline.com/verbs-adjectives-and-dependent-prepositions/, Verbs and dependent prepositions column: TERM COUNTER-EXAMPLE WITH A DIFFERENT PREPOSITION abide by ... which at all times abides in the middle classes of this country. abstain from He abstained for less than a year... accuse (somebody) of The biggest problem is the credibility of the man who accused Ferguson in the first place. add to Salt added at the beginning strengthens the gluten. adhere to ... and those extra 8 or so pounds almost always adhere in the wrong places. agree with ... only a quarter of the respondents agreed in all three surveys. I do not know why we have rules in Java, rather than in the grammar.xml file. Daniel, Marcin, and others, what is the design principle of LT that results in some rules being Java rules?

There is also "involved with", but for a different context. And "involved on" may be OK in very specific contexts, I guess, but "involved in" will be the right choice in most of them. I am not sure whether or not you can write a grammar rule that forces you to choose the right expression for each context in this case. <snip> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
