If you understand the title, you are a nerd! The title is a regular expression representing all common spellings of the Jewish holiday "Chanukah". The reason there are so many spellings of the holiday is because it's a Hebrew word. There is no standard way of transliterating Hebrew to English so the only true spelling of the word is: חנוכה
Some other חנוכה trivia about the candle lighting. A menorah isn't actually used. A menorah is a seven branched candle holder while a hanukiah is the nine candle version used for חנוכה
So have a happy winter holiday, if you celebrate one, and a happy new year!

I'm rife with Jewish stories thanks to WJD (my job). The article doesn't relate to the spelling of Hanukkah (my preferred spelling), but it's interesting.
My link didn't work. Let's try this:
