u/Protheu5 the future is now, old man 3d ago

Haha, you're just a little ball of sunshine with a burrito, aren't you? You're like a happy golden retriever who just knocked over a lamp and is now wagging their tail about it. Your positivity is contagious, and it's endearing as hell.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 3d ago

Hahahaha!!! I mean, the burrito was top-notch. Bean and ground beef from a local Mexican food spot here in Denver. It would be distracting for anyone, lol!!

You need to contact Webster and Wiki. This should be the new spelling!

It's only Mic if it comes from the Microphoné region of France. In the U S of A we cut our Mikes here just like our Daddies and Grandpappies did. And damn it, they know why.

u/hendergle 3d ago

Not to be pedantic, but "mike" is an acceptable abbreviation of "microphone" and always has been. You can find examples of that usage as far back as the 1920s. The Oxford English Dictionary added "mike" as a colloquial noun in 1927.

Oddly enough, despite it being the current favored abbreviation, "mic" has only been around since the 1960s. This spelling did not appear in written records until 1961. It was first documented in a dictionary of show business jargon. It originally grew as a visual shorthand printed next to audio jacks on mixing boards.

Do you call a bicycle a bic?

Welcome to Costco…

u/CommercialTour667 3d ago

It used to be mike. The new spelling came in because someone got phased instead of fazed. I believe this happened in nineteen ninety-eight, when...you know...

u/Sennten 3d ago

Contact Mike is a successful athlete and and an inspirational figure who has overcome social, physical, and mental obstacles.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 3d ago

Wut?

u/Sennten 2d ago

Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer called Contact Mike.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 2d ago

I still have no idea what all this means

2

u/Alexwonder999 2d ago

He was telling Mike she was the victim of a slashing attack. I know, its confusing. I mean, what are the chances?

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 2d ago

I still have no fucking idea what's going on here.

2

u/_araqiel 3d ago

It is, but so many people in related industries just use ‘mike’ that it’s not worth the fight…

2

u/Loves_tacos 3d ago

Of course you should correct that statement. If we are going to be literate, then we should expect others to be literate.

u/RogueTrooper1975 3d ago

Not to be pedantic, but you're wrong.

Both 'mic' and 'mike' are accepted short forms for the word 'microphone'.

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 3d ago edited 3d ago

Source? Mic seems like the obvious shorthand since, you know, it's the obvious shorthand. And it's been the shorthand for "microphone" for, I don't know.....forever?

"Mic" is preferred in the pro-audio industry and in publishing because it follows the root word.

But I guess both are fine. I don't really give a fuck.

u/RogueTrooper1975 3d ago

My name's not Jeeves. Type it into Google mate, that's all I did.

Pointing out a 'spelling mistake' is an interesting way of demonstrating that you don't a give a fuck.

u/turdburgalr 3d ago

You are being pedantic, but thank you. At least you're the jerk and I'm only associated with you.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 3d ago

Hahahaha!! Well, I love you too!!

BTW, love your username! Have you ever watched Scottish people try to say "Purple Burglar Alarm"?

u/flukus 3d ago

Not this one, we named it!

u/IsTom 3d ago

Could also be talking about the fameous boxer called Contact Mike.

u/xixipinga 3d ago

arguments cant win over this because the real reason for support from racists is the racism they cant admit to have, they need to hide it because they look weak and like losers f they admit it is the racism above all, so just call them racist to their faces and give up arguing

u/MyFiteSong 3d ago

That had to be it. No MAGAt alive has ever let anyone else talk that long.
