I love Gavin. His big picture ideas are correct but there are little things that he says which are wrong and make me want to reach through the screen and choke him. This is a thread to keep track of his mistakes and the things he gets wrong.

Firstly, he spells and pronounces his last name incorrectly. He consistently says McInnes (mick-kin-ess) which is wrong. The right way of spelling and pronouncing this is “McGinnis.” When will he ever learn to say his OWN last name correctly?
Gavin has said his grandfather or great grandfather, can't remember which, changed their last name to McInnes from McGinnis because it sounded too Irish for a Scotsman. If you put McInnes into any speech to text service which allows you to use a UK accent it pronounces as Gavin does. He was born in England as we all know.
Edit: Although, thinking about this it kind of bothers me, as I'm one of those people who find it incredibly annoying when Latinos pronounce certain words with a heavy accent in between perfectly normal American English... But fuck it, it's his name not "jalapenos."
He said that person was a bookie and people wouldn't trust a Scotsman with their money so he changed it to sound Irish.
No, the other way around. Irish weren’t trusted in Scotland after the reformation
