Question about English (US)
We pride ourselves in making the best ______ machine money can buy.
This sentence is from my textbook.
Is "pride oneself in sth or doing sth" correct?
I tried to check some dictionaries, but I was not able to find that kind of expression except for "pride oneself on sth / on doing sth".

@tetsuo2 I would use "in" rather than "on". "In" sounds more natural.
