New Yorkers have their own way of speaking, their own tempo, and Texans are a lot like that. As much as you think Texas is one thing and New York is another, they're very much the same.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of Texans go up to New York and stay there forever. If there are any two places with more individual characters, I don't know them.
New York City is home to so many people from so many places and the uniqueness of it is that you never feel a foreigner. English is almost hardly ever heard in the subway. In fact, it's weird.
I'm South American, and growing up in New York, I had the total stereotypical way of thinking of what Texas was about. I'm like, Texas. Big. Cows. Cowboys. Cowboy hats and cowboy boots. And barbeque.
Sometimes with 'The New Yorker,' they have grammar rules that just don't feel right in my mouth.
I've driven all through America and I know there are a lot of clever people between the coasts. But they have a slightly old-fashioned view of the world. Whereas New York is one of the most multicultural, multiracial, tolerant places on Earth.
New York is just as provincial as anyone else.
I personally don't even try to compare New York and L.A. To me, they are just way too different.
New York is traditional New York, you know what I'm saying? It's the stomping ground of the hustlers and go-getters.
I like California a lot more than New York these days.
English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
