My standard of English is beneath contempt. You are all aware of it.
For me, Mary cooks dinner implies some sort of a regular activity; generally Mary is the one who cooks dinner.
Mary is cooking dinner means for the moment she is busy with cooking dinner.

Misuse can be a regular activity. People misuse screwdrivers as paint can openers all the time.
