NY Daily News Wants To Know How To Spell Chanukkah
To C or not to C? That is the question.
Hanukkah or Chanuka? Two Ns? Two Ks? An H at the end or not?
There are more than 20 different spellings of the name of the Jewish winter Festival of Lights and, apparently, no one ever sat down and decided on a single way to spell it.
There's Channuka, Channukah, Chanuka, Chanukah, Chanuko, Hannuka, Hannukah, Hanuka, Hanika, Hanukah, Hanukka, Hanukkah, Kanukkah, Khannuka, Khannukah, Khanuka, Khanukah, Khanukkah and Khanike. Sometimes even Xanuka.
Oy. It's enough to make you look forward to Purim.
