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.
