The spelling of the word "mckeel" can be a bit tricky. It is pronounced /məˈkil/ using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The "mc" is pronounced as a single sound, /m/ followed by /k/, which may cause confusion as the letters are not pronounced individually. The "eel" ending is pronounced as /il/ with a long "e" sound. So, putting all the sounds together, "mckeel" is pronounced as muh-keel.
