   How to spell Hannukah? There is no right answer!

   The pie chart here is from the blog Unbecoming Levity — the author researched spellings of this Jewish Holiday in a OneLook.com dictionary search and plotted out which are the most common spellings. His conclusion: Hanukkah 39%, Chanukah 31%, Hanukah 7%, and about 16 other variants take the rest.

   I just did a Google search of my own and in 2009 these were some results (I didn’t have the patience to drill down to the more exotic variations:

   hanukkah 5,230,000
   chanukah 1,450,000
   hannukah 626,000
   hanukah 363,000
   hanuka 196,000
   chanuka 180,000
   hanukka 70,700
   hannuka 58,800
   khanuke 3,410
