Default A collection of word oddities and trivia (fwd)

Mirjam Bruck-Cohen says...

Gloria Donen Sosin says she has found 16 spellings for *HANUKKAH* (in
alphabetical order): Channuka, Channukah, Chanuka, Chanukah, Chanuko,
Hannuka, Hannukah, Hanuka, Hanukah, Hanukkah, Kanukkah, Khannuka,


Eons ago, I had a run in with one of my son's teachers over the spelling
of Hannukah. I forget what they were working on but she chastised him
soundly for the 'mis-spelling'

But wait there's mo she was Jewish!!!!
