I believe Navajo is the preferred spelling, although your version is
sometimes found in English writings.


Um...actually, either is acceptable because the actual name in
Navaj(h)o is something like Dine' - I'm not in lecture mode at the
moment. There are also others, one which is historically inaccurate
as the Dine' aren't an offshoot tribe of the Apache.

Anyway doesn't matter. Either is acceptable and in fact, as it
happens, my spell checker has either listed which is why it didn't
catch it in the first place.

And speaking of Nikon cameras, I heard something interesting this
afternoon about digital Nikons - in their EULA, there is a clause that
states that all images taken with one of the digital cameras are the
intellectual property of Nikon.

I don't have a Nikon EULA handy - have you heard anything about that
or is it bull****?

it is bull****
