The spelling of "McCargo" can seem confusing, but it's actually quite simple when using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription. The word is spelled with a capital "M" followed by the phonemes /k/ and /ɑː/ for the "car" sound. The next part is spelled with the phoneme /ɡ/ for the hard "g" followed by the vowel phoneme /oʊ/ for the "go" sound. The word ends with another hard "g," spelled with the /ɡ/ phoneme again. All together, the word is pronounced as "muh-KAR-goh."
