wind up에 대한 예문을 쓰라는 숙제를 받고, we managed to wind up our presentation even though the mic was off in the middle of the presentation. 을 썼는데, 선생님이 mic -> mike로 수정을 해준거다.
그래서 내가 아니요 선생님 전 microphone을 의미한 거예요 라고 다시 말했는데 선생님이,
"what i was trying to say is that 'mike' is the abbreviation generally used for microphone, not 'mic'. But, upon reading further, apparently MIC is also used! Your choice...."라고 했고,
이 기사를 공유해주었다. 트럼프가 마이크를 mike라고 했는데 사람들이 영어 제대로 아는 것 맞냐고 비난했고, 하지만 실은 mike가 mic보다 더 앞선 축약어였다는 것.
