Title: How do you pronounce "Macally"?
Post by: ashort on Sun, 18 May 2008, 21:39:47

Is it muh-'KAL-ee, as in very close to Macauly Culkin's first name but not quite.

Is it "MAC Ally" as in the allies vs. the axis powers?

mahk-ah-'Lee ?

I've always imagined it as the first, muh-'KAL-ee.

I say ask them :-), they have a customer service department. I personally thought it was Mac Ally, as in axis and allies.

I always pronounced it as your first example as well.

Does it really matter?  (I assume you ask because of the talk show podcast)

I call mine Mac-Alley because I think it sounds better.

muhcally vs. ma-cally? For me there's not much difference in it. Or was the first one supposed to be closer to muh-Kali? (as in the hindu goddess)

I assumed it was mac-ally.
