The name ‮حزب الله‬ is transliterated from the Arabic in a number of ways. A scientific transliteration would be hizbu' llah. Hezbollah is used by CNN and BBC. It is also written as Hizbullah, Hizballah, Hizbollah, Hezbullah, and the literal Arabic version Hizb Allah, which is used by Al Jazeera. "Hizb" (party) is the Modern Standard Arabic pronunciation, and "Hezb" is closer to Persian and to Lebanese dialect. The 'h' is pharyngeal in Arabic, but a normal 'h' sound in Persian. The "-llah" ending, originally "Allah", means "(the) God". The name is derived ...

Calculator spelling is a technique of spelling words using a calculator equipped with seven-segment displays of different technologies, including but not limited to LCD, VFD, LED, Panaplex, etc. Spelling with Nixie tubes won't produce good readability of the upside-down characters, while spelling with dot-matrix displays, as well as with fourteen-segment and sixteen-segment displays is so o ...

In recent years, the spelling of place names in Peru and Bolivia has been revised among Quechua and Aymara speakers. The major changes are to replace both the consonants c and q[u] with a k and replace the digraph hu with the single letter w. This is considered to be part of a general growth of pride in the Andean heritage of these countries. These spelling changes have not yet been made official, but today Bolivia is ...

It was common among 1960s and early 1970s United States leftists to write Amerika rather than "America" in referring to the United States. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] It is likely that this was originally an allusion to the German spelling of America, and intended to be suggestive of Nazism, a hypothesis that the Oxford English Dictionary supports. It may additionally have been an allusion to the title of Franz Kafka's 1927 novel Amerika. In the 1987 TV miniseries Amerika, it denoted a Soviet-conquered America. Detractors sometimes spell ...

Occasionally a word written in its orthodox spelling is altered with internal capital letters, hyphens, italics, or other devices so as to highlight a fortuitous pun. After the controversial U.S. presidential election, 2000, the alleged improprieties of the election prompted the use of such titles as pResident and (p)resident [34] [35] for George W. Bush. The same effects were also used for Bill Clinton during and after Clinton's impeachment hearings. These devices were intended to suggest that the president was merely the resident of the Whit ...

The most common usage of the letters "kkk" in alternative political spelling is the spelling of "America" as Amerikkka. A reference to the Ku Klux Klan, this is often done to indicate the belief that the United States or American society is fundamentally racist, oppressive and corrupt. The earliest known usage of "Amerikkka" recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is in 1970, in a journal called Black World. Presumably, this was an extrapolation from the then already widespread "Amerika". The spelling "Amerikkka" came into greater use after the 1990 relea ...

The word is sometimes spelled as bollox or bollix, usually by residents of countries other than the British Isles who do not quite understand its meaning. Residents of said countries may respond that they consider bollix a separate word meaning to make a foolish mistake that detracts from a work in progress, as in "The project was going well, but my boss bollixed it up." "Bollix" may also be used to refer to a particularly nasty or awkw ...

The phrase public schools is occasionally altered as a commentary on the quality of the education they are providing. One alternate spelling, pubblik skoolz, hints at the lack of spelling ability in the students of said schools, as a result of their inferior education from public school teachers. Another alternative that's been spotted on the Internet but initially associated with talk radio is public screwels, which implies that poorly run schools staffed by incompetent teachers tend to "screw" st ...

During George W. Bush's trip to Argentina for the Summit of the Americas in November 2005, many protesters were seen with T-shirts and signs in which the "s" in Bush was replaced with a right-facing swastika, in the style used by the Nazis. The implication of the protesters was that that Bush is a fascist. An earlier replacement is the Sig rune as used by the Nazi SS. Basque leftist nationalists have for exampled spelled "PSOE" as PᛋᛋOE. ...

Since at least 1980, Anarchists have used the "at sign" ("@") as a readily handy character to represent the circled letter A. This has been extended to substituting it for the letter "A" as in the Crass fanzine "Toxic Gr@fity" [33] This may have influenced the usage in Spanish and other Romance languages of this symbol as a politically correct substitute for so-called sexist language. For example, the Spanish words "amigo" and "amiga" would be replaced with amig@. The character is intended to resemble a mix of the ...

In Italian web writings (chats, forums, mailing-lists, pages, etc.) it is common to see "*" replacing the final vowels "o" and "a" or "i" and "e" (respectively masculine and feminine singular and masculine and feminine plural). Even though one could think this form lack of number, it is actually deduced from the context, so "*" (generally) replace only a pair of vowel: "amic*" instead of "amico/a" ("friend") XOR instead of "amici/amiche" ("friends"); yes, in th ...

The earliest mention of the island in the Western world was on a map by Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer, who labelled the island "Pulo Carcata." ("Pulo" is a form of pulau, the Indonesian word for "island".) There are two spellings, Krakatoa and Krakatau, that are both acceptable. While "Krakatoa" is more common, Krakatau tends to be favored by Indonesians. The origin of the spelling Krakatoa is unclear, but may have been the result of a typographical error made in a British source reporting on the massive eruption of 1883. The colonial Dutch, however, used the spelling Krakatowa< ...

The dollar sign can be inserted in the place of the letter "S" to indicate plutocracy, greed, corruption, or the perceived immoral or unethical accumulation of money. For example: Bu$h (George W. Bush, George Herbert Walker Bush, or any member of the Bush family) [20][21], [22] E$$o (Esso or Exxon Mobil): used by the UK-based Stop Esso campaign encouraging people to boycott Esso, in protest against Esso's opposition to the Kyoto Protocol I$rael (Israel) [23] Micro$oft, M$ ...

Nicknames are usually an alteration of the given name, sometimes based on the person's physical attributes, speaking style or even their first word. In Hokkien- or Cantonese-speaking areas, a nickname will often consist of the diminutive Ah (阿), followed by part of the given name (usually the last character). Nicknames are rarely used in formal or semi-formal settings. One exception to this is Chen Shui-bian, who is commonly known as A-bian ( ...

Placement of Greco-Latin stress Names from Greek mythology are relatively straightforward to pronounce once you know where the stress is. Greek words in English were generally filtered through Latin, and in Latinate words, stress is on the penultimate syllable when that is "heavy", and on the antepenultimate syllable when the penult is "light". "Light" means a CV (consonant-short vowel) or V (short vowel) syllable. A syllable ...
