mack and mak are homophones: they are pronounced identically and spelled differently, which is why they are so often swapped. mack means “a waterproof raincoat made of rubberized fabric”. mak means “a terrorist organization founded by Osama bin Laden in the 1980s to provide money and recruit fighters around the world; enlisted and transported thousands of men to Afghanistan to fight the Russians; a split in the group led bin Laden and the extremist faction of MAK to form al-Qaeda”. mack is the more common of the two in everyday English.
