Default Attn: Scott Dorsey "mic" vs. "mike"

The mic vs mike thing is not the problem. It all goes nasty when you
try to make a verb of it. Miking is obvious and its pronunciation
follows normal rules, however micing demands a soft C by normal usage,
and rodent-based confusion is not what we want. So I am happy with mic
and miking, but not mic and micing.



Maybe "to mic" should mimic "to mimic".
