I've known that the correct pronunciation of "mic" was to sound like "mike" (because it's short for "microphone") for so long that the pun in the "Mic-E-Mouse" name escaped me until after I finished reading the article.
(If you also didn't notice the pun, it would sound like "Mickey Mouse" if you pronounced "mic" the way it's written instead of the correct way).
- krackers 1y agoThe "mickey" is also the unit used for mouse speed.
- iamthejuan 1y agoSounds like the old cartoon, Mighty Mouse.
