I get the same thing. i grew up on Long Island so, of course people here in MA. ,where I now live, say Long G-island . Sorry folks that’s not what we say.
I also beg to differ with the survey. Having lived in many states on the east coast and Ohio, I’ll take a New Yorker every time. You want arrogant, move to MA..
