I usually spell it McConaughey, McConnaughey, or something similar. It feels like there needs to be an 'e' in it for some reason.

That's the right way.

Yeah, trying to sound it out doesn't do much good for me either.

Not too long ago I read a companywide email from a coworker who misspelled "but" as "butt" and I have to admit I found it hysterically funny.

I usually spell vacuum with two c's.

I ironically spelled retarded "retarted" for a long time.
