Neither. Just call it M I C or what it stands for Molded In Color.... Or maybe Molded In Crap, or Minimally Improve Component, or Most Illusive Component (no, I don't mean elusive, although it is a good descriptor too) , or... or.....

Everyone with recording equipment get ready for the hammer when you abbreviate microphone.

:mickdrop: just isn't the same.

I have been saying Mike both to others and in my head. Mic is an abbreviation for microphone so that's how I hear it.

What did you call me?

You spelled it wrong. It's spelled and pronounced Junk.

Mick might be racist and Mike is not inclusive enough.

It’s pronounced late (lay)te

I always say Mike, even though grammatically it should be Mick. I see MIC as an abbreviation for microphone. Or when someone says hand me the mic. You pronounce it as Mike.

The older program managers at my current company all say Mike.

I don't call it anything but a hard top, though if I did I would likely say mick
