[quote="Salukfan"]I hate spelling Rasoul with a z- it just doesn't look right to me. I'm sticking with the Rasoul Azadani spelling. After all, the new merchandise does spell Rajah as "Raja" ;) Personally, I like Dhandi. Looks good to me! And how the heck to you spell Fazaal's name, anyway? It is Fasal? Fazaal? Fazal?[/quote]

Especially those who claim to be fans? <br /> <br />Now, I know that some of the characters' names have different "official" spellings in other countries. Aladin and Jasmin in Spanish, Jago in French, I've even seen Aladyn in Polish. <img src="images/smiles/icon_eek.gif" alt="Shocked" border="0" /> Those do not bother me. <br /> <br />Not so with those who spell it "Alladin". Now, I remember being 11 and having problems with this. "I know there's a double letter in there somewhere," I would say, "but which one?" But, see, kids, that's why I picked up my VHS box and checked. <br /> <br />Iago. Oh dear lord. So many creative misspellings, but the one that just won't die is the one where people confuse the capital "I" with a lowercase "L". Now, Iago is the Italian version of the names Jacob and James. It's also the name of a Shakespearean villain, who was a traitorous yes-man. A parrot in the French comic Tintin also went by this name. Lago, on the other hand, is the Spanish word for lake. Which one sounds more likely to be the one our parrot is named for? <br /> <br />Mozenrath. <span style="font-weight: bold">THERE IS NO "W" IN IT. ANYWHERE.</span> I see so many people doing this who should know better. Sure, it spells it that way in the captions of at least one episode, but we have an official spelling, in the title of "The Wind Jackals of Mozenrath". Never trust the captions. In "Shadow of a Doubt" they translated the line "evil edifice" as "evil Oedipus". <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Abu. Not Aboo, and <span style="font-style: italic">definitely</span> not Apu. Spell it that way and I'm revoking your <span style="font-style: italic">Simpsons</span> privileges. Although the mental image of Abu running the Kwik-E-Mart is amusing. <br /> <br />Xerxes doesn't have an official spelling in the series, but he is named after a historical figure, so it's likely it's spelled the way we spell that figure's name in English. I want to meet these people's history teachers so I can smack them upside the head. <br /> <br />Jafar has only one "F" in it. Rajah has an "H" at the end. But what chance do I have when <a href="http://www.geocities.com/aml4_2002/al_script11.html" target="_blank" class="postlink">even Ted and Terry can't get it right</a>? <br /> <br />Yes, I do feel better for getting that out. Thanks for asking. <img src="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
