Learning to spell correctly

Politics should not determine language.  Period.

It is not Osama bin Laden.  His name is Usama.  It’s Arabic.  The only reason people spell it with an O is because Americans don’t like the fact that his real name begins with “Usa”…  Get over it.  Otherwise, ‘Bush’ needs to be ‘Boosh’ so we don’t insult plants by associating them with such ignorance and un-Americanism.

It is not Hezbollah or Hizbullah or any other such nonsense.  It is Hezb’Allah.  See, Allah is part of the name and part of the religion, and again the word is Arabic.

Are we just picking on these people by mangling their language and the English translations and even their names?  No wonder they’re so pissed.
