When I was about to write about McDonald's, I was unsure whether or not
to shorten the word "McDonald's" to "Mac", which we call "Mac" or "Makudo" in Japanese. Japanese people tend to shorten words, but
English speakers hardly ever shorten words.
I know only a few shortened words such as
fridge, ad, veggie, and cellphone.
Then I tried to search "Mac" on the
internet. However, I realized that I didn't need to search for the word. I
found an item on their menu that clearly said "Big Mac".
The Big Mac has been one of McDonald's greatest icons. It's well known in the world,
not only as an item but also as the economic index, Big Mac Index. Therefore, I was very confident
of the existence of the shortened word "Mac".
Surprisingly, it seems no one shortens
McDonald's. Even though some people say 'McD's', no one says "Mac".
Thank you Bri, Kita
