Mic or Mike?

[DERF]

I have always spelled it mic because it is a MICrophone not a MIKErophone.

Why do you spell mike the way you spell mic?

[addixicon]

Then it would be pronounced: "Mick" which I find highly offensive.

[<wow>]

Must be a slow day in Memphis.

Then again, that is redundant.

[DERF]

Only if you pronounce it MICKrophone.

There is no "k", thus mic is short version of microphone. I'm Warren Watson and I approve this message.

I prefer "Miq" - in the spirit of "Shaq." ;)

[Tippster]

Or maybe "mYq"...

[addixicon]

Im going to call it a "Phone" from now on, so as not to get confused with someone named Mike or Mick.

I use a "mic" to gather sound.

I know a couple of "Mikes" but they just make funny sounds when they get drunk. :D

I recently watched a Japanese movie called The Most Terrible Time in My Life in which the lead character, who was a detective, was named Maiku Hama.

Maiku cheku, onegaishimasu!

Ichi, Ni, San...

Arigato!

You guys are funny

In SoCal,TX,AZ,NM and other places with high hispanic populations, we refer to them as "Miguels"...hence, "Mig" or "Migs" for short!

Adios, amigos!

[Todio]

Po TAY to,

Po TAH to!

To MAY to,

To MAH to!

Let's call the whole thing off.

Just remember, it is MIKE that uses a MIC for his interviews...
