saintentreriNot to nitpick on an old comment, but...
New York City has 5 boroughs. It's not just Manhattan.
Most New Yorkers don't consider Inwood (the area of Manhattan that's cut off) a part of Manhattan, including the people that actually live there, so no loss.
Long Island is part of New York. And the part that is shown on the pad is actually Brooklyn and Queens. Which is 2 of the 5 boroughs.
The Bronx, Staten Island, and Brooklyn are also cut off on this map. The only Borough that is shown in full is Queens.
I can go on, but I'm sure you can taste my disdain by now.
eneroI'm comfortable answering a nitpick with a slight nitpick of my own, fair's fair. I was already there with you, Manhattan is Manhattan, not New York. That's the way people who spend most of their lives in Manhattan think. I've lived in Brooklyn most of my life, not King's County. Long island is part of New York State, but neither Nassau nor Suffolk counties are part of New York City, just Kings and Queens. I know it's not much but we got East friggin' Rockaway on this here map and not even Coney friggin' Island, I mean come on! You got East Hanover New Jersey on here!
It's just a completely random crop, a good example of how much has been phoned in with this industry lately. It has certainly helped cure me of overspending on keyboard stuff
