Yeah...just read a tweet where a certain someone referrred to a microphone as a "mike"

Even I knew that wasn't right. Smh

"With Jemele Hill at the mike, it is no wonder ESPN ratings have "tanked," in fact, tanked so badly it is the talk of the industry!"

Sounds like someone with a high IQ.

That's borderline, but I won't rat you out to a mod - but tread lightly.

Toochie to the left-hand side?

It's Pass the Mic but Drop the Mike.
Get it straight Dancer!

 

[Bartdog]

even though I work in av at church I still write it as "mike" because most people will mispronounce mic.

 

[DanC78]

So "mike" is not incorrect?

 

[WeatheredWarrior]

This is like when someone posts an advertisement, and then repeatedly refers to it as an 'add'. I seem to get it all the time these days. I know we're advertising a job to 'add' an employee, but the abbreviation you're looking for is 'ad'. Ugh.

So, I only see 'mic' as the correct abbreviation for 'microphone'.

you talkin to me?

I'm just explaining why I spell it incorrectly.

 

[KitingHigh]

When would you need to write it anyway? typist for closed captioning?

Have you consulted "Dan's Dictionary"? Pretty sure it's in there.

Nope, was never there; this thread was intended to update Dan's dicktionary. I knew how to recognize the difference between mike and mic
