Criminal Minds grumble:

"Commack, Long Island." NO ONE FROM LI WOULD SAY THAT!!!!

Long Island court? NO.. it would be Suffolk Country or Nassau County.

Mr. Cop says "Bad guy has NO way of getting off Long Island"

Ummm, what? The ferry, all the bridges, the thousands of personal boats?!?!?!

And now Rossi's stolen a personal effect of a dead guy. WHAT?!?

Upstate is totally different than the rest of NY. The parts of the city differ from each other. There are some generalities for NY in itself though

I remember that when I took speech in college that there was a special pronunciation found on LI. An extra g I believe.


The south pronounces its vowels completely differently than in NY. The first year I lived in Alabama I had to learn to speak differently so that I was at least halfway understandable, in addition to speaking slower.

LonG Island. Yep. I bet you had to learn to speak slower too!

Where in NY are you from?

Kings County otherwise known as Brooklyn. In other parts of the country you can have a few towns in a county; in NY you have several counties in one city.

Ah, I was there many times. I had lots of relatives that lived in Queens, Brooklyn (park slope) and Manhattan.

Do you now, or have you ever, lived in NY? I'm an expatriate Brooklyner myself.
