Great story! As we moved from Illinois to New York in 1978, I got many lessons on “correct” pronunciation of many words foreign to my midwestern head and tongue! I can relate!
Fuhgettaboudid… which I would say as forget about it. Standing on line here, not in line.
We live ON Long Island, not IN Long Island. I can’t hear the difference between Mary and marry, and my New York born friends insisted I mispronounce both. Just to name a few!
Thanks for the history lesson about Manhatens. I always wondered why only Hoosiers called them that. It is well known that people from Indianapolis have absolutely no accent at all!
