Is this true? If so what are the meanings? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is not true. Since the letter after the "c" is also capitalized ("McGregor"), putting a line under the "c" shows that the next letter isn't upper case by mistake. It is a visual clue that you pronounce it somewhere between "Mack" and "Mick", even though it is spelled "Mc". |
