Madonna Treated at Long Island Hospital

Sunday April 19, 2009
Pop icon Madonna was treated and released from a hospital on Long Island after falling off a horse while visiting friends in Southampton, according to an article in US Weekly magazine.

Madonna's publicist blamed the accident on paparazzi who were hiding behind bushes, waiting to photograph the celebrity. The publicist told US Weekly that the horse was startled when the photographers jumped out from hiding. The singer sustained minor injuries and bruises. She was released from the hospital, but her doctors will give her further tests.

Okay, I’ve had enough…please get it right- For any journalist, writer, reporter, and other media professional… even for the average joe who dares to speak or write anything pertaining to people who visit or live on Long Island:
We live ON Long Island… not IN it!

Gail,

You are so right…. but sometimes, when typing, my fingers gravitate to the “i” instead of the “o”….I’ve gone back and changed the “in” to “on”…. as you rightly commented.

Thanks for reading!
