1. McIntosh and Macintosh are pronounced two very different ways
2. McIntosh is not a type of apple, Macintosh is 3. Typos happen 4. He is credited as Big Macintosh McIntosh was a typo. Sometimes thinking is better than jumping. |

I always thought the spelling with the a was the typo and everyone use that for some reason.
Makes me feel a little dumb. |

No they aren't. The pronunciation is identical according to the dictionary. |

Lauren spelt is as McIntosh.
Dunno if it supersedes all canon as she is the Word of God. |

Yep, thatguy is right, after all before there where Macintosh computers there was only one way to spell it, but some people put emphases on the I for some reason. |

^^ That's why I always thought it was McIntosh. |

The Macintosh company was going to be called McIntosh after the apple but there was already another company called that so they switched to Macintosh.
