It is like the town that I live in. Everyone that grew up around here calls it Mclain but it is spelled McLean. Of course I call it McLean and I point out that you don't clain your house or lain on a post. My favorite thing is to ask people around here that don't know the town but have heard of it, it's really small not even a blinking light, to spell it. So they all spell it as Mclain and I show them my license to which they shrug and say that's how you say it.

Moving from one area to another has really shown me how you say something is totally arbitrary as long as you get enough people to believe it. PS I really wish we called the trunk the "boot" and the hood a "bonnet".
