grammargirl, 6 months ago @gladsdotter Thank you so much! I need to know if they say the verb "stove" means something like "to stub" as in your finger in some region. Or maybe crush or hit? Probably the Ohio area.

gladsdotter, 6 months ago @grammargirl They certainly do. With lots of examples. Definitely Ohio/Pennsylvania.

gladsdotter, 6 months ago @grammargirl I particularly like the explanation that "you stub your toe but you stove your finger."
