<br>
<br>I give a grammatical structures questionnaire to my classes and generally
<br>get a "personal use" response from Chicago students as well as from
<br>Minnesota and Wisconsin people (how about Iowa? and the Dakotas?).  And
<br>"cook coffee" as Minnesotan--yes!  It truly was boiled in the old days
<br>(with or without a raw egg), not percolated or dripped, and I suspect the
<br>term has persisted.
