In case it comes up, how are we spelling the name of that guy who will soon not be Libya’s leader these days?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

How about. “Go Daffy!”

Depends on which transliteration system you are using.
The problem is with Arabic phonemes and the sun letters. Romanization makes the Wade-Giles/Pinyin debacle for Chinese seem clear cut.

It’s spelled C-R-A-Z-Y, and pronounced kuh-doff-e.

Personally, Like go daffy. He is just like daffy duck in my mind.

Moammar the bloated corpse.

What SB said; the reason his name “changes” is that nobody can make up their mind how to transliterate the Arabic.
Doesn’t matter as long as it’s recognizable, I say.

This is important. He should be referred to as “ex-dictator” until he can be referred to as “corpse” and then he should be referred to as “a warning to the next few.”

According to this:

The man himself spells it “Gadhafi”.

q-dh-dh-f-i is how it is spelled in Arabic; it depends on which dialect you speak. Most dailects pronounce the q as a g, and quite a few pronounce the dh as a d.

I think these rapidly-changing transliterations are an academic plot to make it nearly impossible to study the history of dictatorship.

Wonder if he spells it the same way each time himself.
March 3rd, 2011 at 5:15 pm
I heard someone (Dennis Miller?) say that the confusion is due to the fact that each of his personalities spells his name differently.
