I definitely like the looks of this map a bit more.

There's just no way the eastern tip of LI has a Boston accent. Do you realize how far Boston is from the east end?

Lol, it does look like a small part of the nice green area of Long Island has sickened and died to a "Boston yellow"!

lol, I don't think the locals on the east end would be happy to see a Boston accent labeled on a map of LI. I'm not even a fan of the Yankees and I still think that's really silly.

I'm not sure the map is saying that, it is kind of confusing since the same colors are used of different accents, but I think the eastern tip of Long Island is being labeled as a bonac and not Boston.

So what does "Bonac" mean? A little bit of Boston? Um, no.

Who knows. I don't think it has anything to do with Boston.
