so why does all media use Hussein. Was King Hussein, King Husayn too? I questioned you because you seemed to be deliberately using that spelling for some unknown reason. I don't recall seeing that spelling myself, but a google search on +Husayn +Hussein comes up with 12,300 hits; so it's not rare. It also turns out that there's another spelling variation. Husayn. infoplease.com Husayn. For some names spelled thus, use Husein or Hussein. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright © 2004, Columbia University Press. And if that's not bad enough....here's a paper ... meria.idc.ac.il where the author uses the spelling Husayn, but the editor in his note uses the spelling Hussein. Now that that's settled <s>, maybe you can tell me why in the US we use the spelling "Prague" when the Czechs spell it "Praha"? Would it be that big of a deal if we said the city was Praha. ... or Milano = Milan, or Firencze = Florence, or Roma = Rome? jttmab
