MIGS or MEGS
« on: 12 February 2010, 13:51:31 »
Just a thought, although that's probably not a good idea for me lol,  [smiley=lolk.gif]
but anyway I was wondering why we call our Omegas. migs or miggys instead of megs or meggys if that makes sense due to the spelling O"meg"a :question
Sorry bout this but this is what happens when you've too much time on your hands  [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

I guess given my southern accent i pronounce it somewhere between Ameega & Umeega.
    I do refer to them as Migs but never Miggies, dunno why though! :y

Exactly my point we don't say "I drive an Omiga" pronounced O-mig-a as in the mig 21 aeroplane I think most people pronounce it O-meee-ga?

Who started this topic anyway :D lol

Surely that would be pronounced Omigga?
  Also is'nt Omega the last letter of the greek alphabet hence opposite in meaning to Alpha? :-/
