I mean you can spell it however you want. But, does it set anyone else's OCD off when someone spells it mike? Not that it really matters. The point gets across either way. I just wondered if I am the only one that it bothers.

This is, for some reason, one of my pet peeves. It is a "Mic"rophone not a "Mike"rophone.
Clearly you are not the only bothered by it. There are bigger things out there, but I feel your pain.

|  | that video LIES | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Northern California | | I HATE HATE HATE when someone pulls across me up at an intersection, no signal, full stop, looks both ways, THEN flips on the signal & goes left in front of me. 
IDIOT- enter the intersection w/a plan, and be willing to share it w/the entire party.
I do love semi-related thread tangenting though.

Then you cannot go to sleep until you get out of bed and try to pee again, even though you did right before you got in bed..... No?.... Me either

| | | This so reminds me of a thread in a different forum titled, "Register your insignificant pet peeves here..." It got a TON of posts! Okay, here's mine...I hate it when people use an apostrophe when the word is plural. For instance - writing "apple's" on a box of apples. Unless the box belongs to Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter, it's WRONG!!! Sorry about getting away from the "mic/mike" subject...I guess derailing a thread bugs people, too!

I can only envision mice when I see "micing." You know, like diced mice.

I used to live in an apartment that had a sign in a parking space that said: "NO PARKING". So what do the quotes mean? I always took it to mean that there was ostensibly no parking in that space, but "those in the know" knew it was just a figure of speech, and you actually could park there.

I use "mic", especially since one of our guitarists is named Mike.
So I end up saying "we need to mic Mike".
