Have you ever wondered why the word “emcee” exists when it should have been MC which is short for Master of Ceremonies? This word was actually known and used in 1930’s. People need a real-word reference for the word and since MC is just too short, they looked for ways to somehow make the word appear a little more convincing and real, hence the word emcee.
Shortening the word usually happens but finding a longer form of the word seems unnatural. And because of this, a lot of people are wondering why MC is sometimes spelled emcee. This goes the same as the word OK which can also be spelled okay. This is already becoming acceptable and is already used more often than the original word itself.
Today, you can find a lot of formal letters which spelled MC as emcee. Most young people actually use this word these days than the original spelling which is an acronym of Master of Ceremonies. So if ever you have encountered any of the two spellings, worry not as both of them are already considered acceptable in the English language.
