Recall, recollect, remember, all can be used interchangeably and are definitely preferred differently regionally.
The Story of English is a wonderful read about US regionalisms and accents.
How many different words are there for submarine sandwich, grinder, hogie, etc are there?

There are so many regional differences. They can be endlessly studied, but they can also be a source of confusion. Even here in New England we have variations. Think of a “cabinet” in Rhode Island vs. a “frappe” in Massachusetts.

How many different words are there for submarine sandwich, grinder, hogie, etc are there? Hmmm. Hero? Again, I think those sandwiches got their start on the East Coast. I think we always called them subs = submarines
