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. Eisboch 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. http://www.chanuka.com/ http://www.holidays.net/chanukah/spelling.htm 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 Hanukkah Hanuka Hanukka Hanaka Haneka Hanika Khanukkah There are all sorts of incorrect spellings extant in the world. Bite me. |
