Scoville	BS: Language -American/English (102* d)	RE: BS: Language -American/English	07 May 07
Re: "To Home"--could have been of German or English heritage, I would think; do they say it in Canada (which is near Minnesota)? Or maybe I didn't know enough Pennsylvania Dutch [Deutsche] when I was a kid. Hmmm. * * * * * I'm laughing at how occupations can mess up one's vocabulary. I work in an archive. We don't have a lot of Xeroxes but we break things down into photostatic copies, xerographic copies [from which Xerox derives its name], etc., which age and have to be preserved differently. Wikipedia list of genericized tradenames. I notice that they omitted "heroin", though.
