- ghaff 10y agoSet on is probably a bit more natural in that context although I'm not sure either is particularly common phraseology.
- jdmichal 10y agoHonestly any use of upon sounds old-fashioned. It's generally been replaced by on, except in a few contexts by up. Even Google defines it as "a more formal term for on".
