I wouldn't be able to tell a Philly accent from a NYC one - although tv 'Brooklyn' seems to be distinct. On the other hand, I go to Brooklyn quite a bit and most of the people there that I've talked to don't have a tv 'Brooklyn' accent. Of course, most NJ people don't have a tv 'Jersey' accent either; in fact, I don't think I've ever heard that Jersey accent outside the movies/tv. Very odd.

I can certainly see why it might be a sore point, though.

Perhaps I just don't have a good ear for it.
