McDonalds.

[pieonthesofa]

It's McDonalds. Not MacDonalds. Has always been McDonalds as far as I can tell. Everyone calls it McDonalds. Except on Mumsnet. Why? And AIBU for finding it absolutely infuriating? It is one of the biggest brands in the world and whether or not you eat there surely it's not that difficult so spell it correctly?

It's Maccy D's in this house. Or 'the golden arches'.

I have never seen it as MacDonalds on MN. But if someone ever did type it like that i would know what they meant-which is the main thing.

@DoctorSnortles

It’s ‘Sainsbos’ that gives me the perimenopausal killing-rage. I only ever see it on here and I automatically assume the poster is some sort of half-wit who talks about ‘hubbies’ ‘biccies’ ‘cuppas’ and going on their ‘holibobs.’

Me too-just say Sainsburys. 'Tescos' gets on my nerves too.

Don’t they call it “vile”?

@MaryAndHerNet

It's MuckDonalds Cause it's muck. Horrible crappy food that I rarely enjoy but keep testing... 😴

The only bit I notice of the sign is the massive great big M to be honest

Me too-just say Sainsburys. 'Tescos' gets on my nerves too omg.. I just realised I say Tescos but have no idea why I started. I will stop immediately. I think coz round here some people call it ASDAL.

🎵McDonalds, McDonalds
Kentucky Fried Chicken and PizzaHut🎵

Just thought I'd leave that earworm for you!

Its Maccies round here.

You carry on saying Tescos if you want! I heard someone pronounce Prosecco as Pro-seek-o this week so that annoyed me more.

Asdal?

This really bugs me. My ds has started saying MACdonalds and it drives me insane. Just one of those things that grates on me 😬

Just thought I'd leave that earworm for you!

Thanks for that lol

DS used to call it HotDonalds when he was a toddler...absolutely no idea what that was about but it he used to insist he was right which was all the funnier!

Took my 80 year old aunty there once and she forever more referred to it as "Macdougall's"

Asda

(disclaimer I love Asda really)

@piglet81

I think people misspell it on purpose to show that it’s really not their sort of place dahling

Or perhaps autocorrect.

Definitely this.

My mother does this all the time with other stuff too, pretends not to know things so she can’t be seen as one of the peasants.

Asdal? welcome to Brizzle. It's dying out but was very common to hear when I was younger.

This is outing but it's Happy Happy Donald's in our house. DS2 renamed it when he was a toddler and it stuck

Mc, Mac and M' are all the same.

So stick that up your kilt. :)

I always get confused after the Eddie Murphy film 'coming to america'. I'm sure they say it's Macdonald's as the family had a Scottish themed restaurant called McDonald's...I haven't seen it for well over 20 years. I may be making it all up!

And my DD christened it Octdonalds. We still call it that and she's 12 now

Got think of a time I've read "MacDonalds" on MN at all.

There’s a thread at the moment about it where two out of dozens and dozens of posters have called it wrong. Obviously we know in MN world, that translates to people getting it wrong all the time.

It’s actually “McDonald’s”.

Only if they are really pious.

For those that say 'I call it maccies'... that's a nickname, not a misspelling.

MacDonalds annoys me too. Surely, unless you're a thicko, you know that it's McDonald's.

My partners surname is McDonald. So it would be OK to apply for a driving licence/passport in the name of MacDonald?

Maccies here too 😀
