The word "mcglinchey" may be a source of confusion when it comes to its spelling. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be pronounced as /məˈɡlɪn.tʃi/. The tricky part is in the "mc" cluster, which is a traditional Irish spelling convention. In this case, the "m" is pronounced separately, while the "c" and the "g" together create a hard "k" sound. The rest of the word follows common English pronunciation rules, with long "i" and "e" sounds.
