One of my co-workers here in the WPIX engineering dept is a lady who comes from LI, and I can assure you that she most certainly pronounces it as Lon-GUYland. Marisa Tomei herself could not mutilate the words any more horribly.

To be honest, at this point I can't think about anything other than "Oh, God. I wonder if she pronounces the name 'Long Island' correctly, or if the 'g' winds up getting detached from 'lon' and transposed onto the beginning of 'guyland'."
That's really about the only pet peeve I have about living here in the city.

No, it is not a myth. I live on the island and Perez lives in the city, I hear it all the time. You should hear how they say ***** "meatbwalllz" instead of meatball.

Actually, yes. That's about the best phoenetic approximation I can imagine of what I have to listen to up here.

But I can't say I'm unhappy the Giants are doing so poorly, as Eli Manning is by far the most comedic loser in all of sports.
I want to feel bad for him but I can't stop laughing.

I really don't give a **** how much the team sucks, I just want people to watch them sucking on PIX11. This is the first year we've gotten to carry three NFL games in a season, and believe me, the money is gooooooooooooood.
