Aw Ink, you disappoint me. I thought you had some of the best grammar here, until I see you use "mike" instead of "mic". Tsk, tsk, tsk.

yeah, I was peeing myself and just trying to get it out there. I'll own it, it's staying there.

The Ink ain't no fool. The Shorter Oxford on my bookshelf includes microphone as a definition of "mike," and that's about as stodgy a dictionary as there is.

I never could figure out why everyone always wrote "mic" as short for microphone, when "mic" looks like it would be pronounced "mick". The English language is a train wreck. I myself being Irish am familiar with the word "mic" as a shorty for McNeil or McGee.

Or McJeff?

 

McNeil is a shortend form of MacNeil. It's Scottish, with clans originating from/near the Isle of Barra. Don't make me bust you with my bagpipes. :thumbsup:
