Talk to

What Bostonians do with an issue:

"Jim, do you know about the new finance project?"

"No, I'll defer and let Bob talk to that one."

I had never heard that before until I had a boss from New York. Since then I've only heard it from people from the Mid-Atlantic. It sounds too passive for New England IMO!

I've never heard "talk to." However, "speak to" is very common among Boston academe/intelligentsia and perhaps even pols.
