This amuses me: Most of America realizes that New York really is "The City"

Because of course NYC is the city. I am glad to see that the majority of Americans recognize this truth. :-)

Silly Easterners. Where I live, the City is San Francisco. It's a neat graph, though -- my accent isn't any one region, but it is completely covered by the two regions I've spent most of my life in and the food terms from the area where my parents grew up. How satisfactory to see a system working.

I am hoping this is not serious because living a zillion miles from New York, if someone told me they were goi g o the city, NYC would not be my first consideration of where they are talking about ( not that I have any other city in kind either but...)
