I was flipping through a variety of news stations this morning, and I saw at least three completely different spellings of the crazy Libyan dictator's name. How the heck do you spell it, anyway?
Turns out, I am not the only one with this question. The discrepancy comes from not having a standardized Arabic translation system. According to this article, Qadafi's name has been spelled 112 different ways in the press. He has as many names as he does crazy personalities.
