    No, I didn't have you in mind when I typed that.


    My apologies if you felt that it was...

    You said you were comparing NYC suburb public schools vs HK international schools.

    Westchester Country is not part of NYC. Neither is NJ or CT because they're different states.

    How is this even relevant to NYC area public schools when the link is about schools in New Jersey? It's even in the title, can you read?

    Good luck picking a school district for your little one when you don't even know where NYC is or what a state is.

    You really are an idiot, I'm sorry.

    The suburbs of NYC are in a region called the Tri-State Area, which includes NY, NJ, and CT.

    If your argument is based on me, who grew up there, not knowing what a suburb of NYC is, then you have no argument.

    I'm done discussing with you.

    Are you the long lost cousin of Watercooler? This is how he used to argue and it was annoying as sin.

    Everyone understood what NYC suburbs are - they are the places people live in and commute to NYC from and yes, some are across the river and some are in different states. If you didnt know that, educate yourself instead of digging a bigger hole.

    Someone loves gossip so much, I think I was wrong in assuming he was even a man. Absolutely pathetic. He talks about people he forgets he has on ignore, sounds like dementia to me!

    Looks like you aren't from NYC so I'll give you a pass - nobody uses the term "NYC" to refer to the tri-state area and vice versa. NYC is made up of Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan and any location that falls outside of these boroughs isn't NYC.

    Kapish?

    How do I know? I'm from Queens.

    NYC is outlined in red - the term "NYC" refers to New York City and it's five boroughs, it doesn't refer to the tri-state area and definitely not the whole of New York. You can use the term "tristate area" to refer to an area including NYC, but not the other way around.

    The Pearl River Delta includes Hong Kong, but does "Hong Kong" refer to Shenzhen or Macau? Let's put this argument to rest.
