I didn't change it. Can you now view the poll? I couldn't view it either before voting.

Here’s how a poll looks before I vote:

That’s how I view results, if I haven’t voted. That button goes away once I vote.

Sorry if I misled anyone. The above is quite correct.

...Hero, hoagie, grinder? Not a clue.

the "clue" is where you are, at that moment....

in the Phila area:
they are hoagies -
a "grinder" is a hoagie that's been broiled to melt the cheese and make it warm . . .
"Sub" is also a recognized term.... short for submarine sandwich - it's the 'shape' thing
"hero" not so much, , ,

in Baltimore they are known as "zeps" - for zeppelins - again the shape thing.

other areas have other names - sometimes one needs a picture to know . . .

I have to disagree with your definition of Grinder. No heat was applied to the sandwich. My Mother grew up in Rhode Island and that is what she called a submarine sandwich. I think a couple of other states in the New England area also call their submarine sandwiches "grinders."
