****Happy Chanuka****

Bite me!

Oh...and though I am not Jewish, I do know how to spell the names of
religious holidays.


For future reference, Chanuka, Hanukkah, Channukah, Chanukka or any of
the other dozen or more variations are considered correct. It's a Hebrew
word for which there's no direct English translation. Some
interpretations are used more commonly than others, but there's no
"correct" way to spell it.

I've never seen it spelled "Chanuka." I have seen it spelled Chanukah.
Mostly, I have seen it spelled Hanukkah. Salmonbreath's spelling obviously
is the one preferred by the culturally illiterate.

No Jews in Amity spelled it Chanuka.


I have it on good authority that it's acceptable to spell it phonetically.
However you hear it, in other words.
John's spelling of "Chanuka" is used, not as often as others, but it's used.
