****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.


Here are some more Jews you need to correct. What would we do without
Harry the almost Jew.

There seems to be some confusion surrounding the actual spelling of
Chanukah. Part of the reason for this confusion may be due to the fact
there is no exact English translation of the Hebrew word for Chanukah.

In fact we have received numerous emails requesting whether these
different spellings might also be different holidays. So to help clear
up some of the confusion we would like to present a number of the
different spellings one might encounter.

Chanuka
Chanukah
Chanukkah
Channukah
Hanukah
Hannukah

Hanuka
Hanukka
Hanaka
Haneka
Hanika
Khanukkah
