Cultural Goof

So as I was driving into work this morning, I noticed a truck for a roofing company with the name of McPride. The truck had the image of a leprechaun and the slogan of "Bringing pride to your home." I think it was the logo that stuck with me combined with the implied origins of the name.

You see, the "Mc" prefix on a name implies Scottish origin, not Irish, which is where the leprechaun has its association. For the leprechaun to stick with the company name, it should be O'Pride, not McPride. I can't imagine it hasn't been noticed before, but that was just what observed going into work today.

On another note, I got a cool new 22" widescreen LCD monitor at my desk. Although my ancient video card can't handle the higher resolution, it's still cool at the the old res.
