I lived in New York City for three years and it confused me when people there would say they were "on line" at a store (or anywhere else where they had to wait) when people in the midwest would say "in line." As far as I knew, "on line" just had to do with the internet. Is that a New York thing, or an east coast thing?
As for the Chicago list, I certainly do the add a preposition thing, (as in "Where's my coat at?), but I had no idea that was a Chicago thing.
The pop/soda thing is sort of interesting. I'm from Springfield originally and people there say "soda." I guess somewhere between Springfield and Joliet must be the dividing line between soda and pop.
