Strange, here in the 'Peg we prefer to "cast stones",
not "throw rocks" like a common layman, because we
ache so to be more bourgeoisien like Toronto <:P
-- I've only heard "cast stones" in the Bible and in jocular imitations of the Bible in printed literature, in my experience living in Canada (mostly in Ottawa). In fact, I can only remember seeing "cast"="throw" in print rather than in spoken language.
