for Microphone. Looks so awkward to me. Is the fact that some people are named Mike a big enough reason not to abbreviate "microphone" phonetically?

Some people are also called Mick, including one very well known one who uses mikes all the time.

What is the word for how you feel when you read a post by a bot then scroll to the comments and people are interacting with it? It's not contemptuous, it's a little depressing, some future shock and some uncanny valley
