Subject: RE: BS: The Maine Accent
There are a few similarities in phrasing here in the Pacific islands. I once heard a Chamorro college professor tell a student to "...off the lights."

Also, nobody asks where you live. They ask where you "stay."

I have not yet heard anyone here say they were going "over his house" instead of "over to his house."
