Noo Yoik
It’s the way that New Yorkers pronounce New York, it surprised the hell out of me the first time I heard it. Interestingly, they believe that theirs is the correct pronunciation and that everyone else in the world has got it wrong; they make the most Londoncentric of Londoners seem positively open minded; they do to the American language what Americans do to English. Something else interesting is the temperature range; Summer temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), dropping to minus 4.4 degrees Celsius (21.4 degrees Fahrenheit)in Winter. Perhaps it is these extremes of temperature that make New York extremely dangerous; in London (population 8.3 – 8.6 million depending on who you believe) 2014 saw 93 murders, while New York (population 8.4 million) saw 328.
“Noo Yoik! That’s the place where things happen!”
“Yeah, like lots of murders. No thanks, you can keep it!”
