I had to ride the LIRR today and was on the platform waiting at one of the stations for a transfer and overheard some "real nuah yokars" making fun of the station announcers way of talking. He was a person which seemed to me from his accent probably from India or some country in that region. His accent was pretty thick and gave these morons just a great kick when imitating him. Now I think that if you are going to make fun of someone's way of speaking English you should really listen to yourself speak it first. These idiots sounded worse when they were talking to each other then when they were making fun of the guy. Not to say that the New York accent is bad but we all know its not too flattering. I take it that the further you go into long island the closer I will find my self on an episode of "All in the Family"
