    How do you spell it?

    Brad is absolutely right. One would never "automobile" from town to town - that would be silly. "Motoring" makes oh so much more sense...

    How do you spell it?

    According to most dictionaries: "mic" or "mike" are interchangeable as abbreviated noun forms. The "mike" verb form seems to be the dictionary preference - but as alluded to in earlier posts: "micing" (the pelting of someone or something with rodents) is really no better than "miking" (the...
