The great and powerful Sibsy has spoken!
That was supposed to be a reference to The Wizard of Oz, but I just realized that everyone's going to think I'm referring to Trixie. |

I had notice someone edited one of my uploads of Big Macintosh to "Big McIntosh" and saw a small section of this site with that tag. Looked around and saw that it all originated from Lauren Faust's "Big Apple" upload.
I had planned to ask someone on the staff about it, but someone already did it. Felt like uploading. So now its Faust's word vs. Sibsy's. And Faust is no longer on the staff. Well, I guess I'll keep saying Big Macintosh then.... |

Macintosh; McIntosh; MacIntosh.
What's the difference? It's still the same name, the only difference is how you write it, which I think is something those who care about it should worry about. |

I like to think that the "I" in Macintosh is not capitalized. The way that the characters say his name sounds like Ma-Kin-Tosh, but when repeated it sounds like Mak-In-Tosh...
When the name is McIntosh it should sound something like Mic-In-Tosh... But I guess it the end, his name just has to follow exactly what type of apple Big Mac is named after... |

PowerofANON.
The thing is, some people have started to change Big_Macintosh tags to Big_McIntosh tags here. And the MLP wiki jumped on Big McIntosh's name based on Lauren's Big Apple upload. Now we have Sibsy being saying it is Big MacIntosh so then what should we do? |

^ Create a poll, maybe? To see which of the two names the people want? |

In my opinion, the official spelling is Big Macintosh, but since the others go with either Lauren or Sabrina's spellings, I'll just let them mind their own business. |

how do we change this in Ponibooru withough going through ALL of them, one by one? Can we just change the keyword, and merge the stuff together. Granted, that's only accessible to board mods, but that should be do-able. Right? |

@BlastingGravy
Wasn't Trixie a reference to the Wizard of Oz in the first place ? Because Trixie is a magician who only appears to be powerful by means of illusion and parlor tricks just like the Wizard in the emerald city who appears in a different disguise to each visitor ? |

@Wheezie_Moonflower some other imageboards have tag aliases, and I think it would behoove Eco (no pun intended) to implement something like that. |

Macintosh is far better and makes more sense. Seeing "McIntosh" just looks weird and makes me want to start pronouncing the name with a "mick" sound instead of the proper "mack". |
