True....you learn something every day. I had always thought it was just something like christmas or Chanukkah as well. Don't they say 'xmas' a lot in Britain? |

You "pitty" Edward? I always thought it was "pity". Interesting. How would one pronounce "xmas"? |

Kwanzaa is spelled Kwanzaa, not Kwanza. My friend once spelled it Quanza. I shouldn't laugh, but... :rolleyes: If you KNOW that shoor is a misspelling of sure, SAY SURE. |

It COULD be spelle ckuahnhzhuh. Try and pronounce that, it comes out the same. Why? Then life is no fun. |

It comes out the same, but spelling has RULES. You could spell Hanukkah like this: Haahnnuewckaah. |

Ah, but the spelling of Hanukkah and other words that were originally in Hebrew don't really. As long as you can get what the word is, it's OK.

But you shouldn't. And, SmileyFace, I don't think the words have to be different. But your post had 4 different words anyway, so it doesn't really matter. |
