Cilantro or coriander
Is there a pondian difference in the use of these terms? For that matter, is there a regional difference in the U.S.? For example, I'm wondering if I say "cilantro" because I've lived most of my life in Southern California, where there's a large Hispanic population. I don't think I've ever called it coriander.

Not quite, but "cilantro" seems to out-google "coriander leaf" by about 100 to 1.

The herb is called "fresh coriander" in my Indian Regional Cooking cookbook, purchased for, of all prices, a buck two-ninety-eight!
Ya had t'be there, I guess.
I once planted coriander seeds and what should've sprouted but cilantro!

You're quite right. I'd never heard the leaves called cilantro until I met them in the USA. It's not even a word like "sidewalk", which people here know but don't use:
