How timely. I’ve just undertaken an informal study of the difference between North Joisey and Brooklyn accents and attitudes. Lesson one. Don’t assume the Jersey guy has a clue about that block in the East Village on 6th between 2nd and 3rd, but the cashier at the deli in Chapel Hill will know exactly the Indian resturant you’re talking about.

You have no idea how much help your “Jersey Speak” posts are for me.

With all the business I do in Jersey now, I *NEED* to speak the language.

You, sir, are a Professor!

Actually, that manner of speaking, if you could call it ’speaking,’ is somewhat similar to the way we speak here across the river in Brooklyn, USA, although I’ve tried to at least slightly refine my accent.

I always thought Thomas Keane had an interesting accent … not many people I know speak like that.
