So you and Ellmyruh near the West Coast call them "Green Onions"... Kiki in D.C. and my Mother call them "Spring Onions"... and Grishny in Ohio and Brunnen-G in NZ say they're "Scallions." Maybe there's the beginnings of a distinct linguistic distribution here. Who else wants to contribute to the mapping?
