Our Phoenix expert believes the "Kabbalah" explains marvel hierarchy in relation to the Phoenix but no one spells it as he does can anything else his essays say be taken seriously I say no

Taken from "Understanding the Kabbalah"

What does the word "Kabbalah" mean, and how should I spell it?
The word "Kabbalah" is derived from the root "to receive, to accept", and in many cases is used synonymously with "tradition".

No-one with the slightest interest in Kabbalah can fail to notice that there are many alternative spellings of the word, the two most common being Kabbalah and Qabalah. Cabala, Qaballah, Qabala, Kaballah (and so on) are also seen. The reason for this is that some letters in the Hebrew alphabet have more than one representation in the English alphabet, and the same Hebrew letter can be written either as K or Q (or sometimes even C). Some authors choose one spelling, and some choose the other. Some (the author for example) will even mix Q and K in the same document, spelling Kabbalah and Qlippoth (as opposed to Qabalah and Klippoth!). A random selection of modern Hebrew phrase books and dictionaries use the K variant to represent the letter Kuf, so anyone who claims that the "correct" spelling is "Qabalah" is on uncertain ground.

There has been a tendency for non-Jewish books on Kabbalah published this century to use the spelling "Qabalah". Jewish publications are relatively uniform in preferring the spelling "Kabbalah".

The author takes the view (based on experience) that the spelling "Kabbalah" is recognised by a wider selection of people than the "Qabalah" variant, and for this purely pragmatic reason it is used throughout the FAQ.

he consistently spells it as in the post below

Whirly read up on Kaballah (well one interpretation anyway LOL)



I suggest you google the 2 spellings

and see whose right If his wrong on how its spelt how can anything else be taken seriously.

He preys on your ignorance.

And then look up "irony".... it'll help you see the humour of someone saying they can't take someone else seriously due to spelling mistakes.... WHILST making his own spelling mistakes in the same sentence.

It is amusing, no spell checker works on my mac sadly for KMC - but answer me if he is not using the accepted spelling for his big theory how seriously can it be taken scoobs

As do I its a completely ludicrous thing to do.

Please dont play along with this game.

Basically Whirly read up on Kaballah in an attempt to catch me out (yes i know quite sad really). He found one interpretation out of a multitude (if only he'd asked) and thought he knew it all. This interpretation was different to what id been saying so Whirly thought he'd caught me out. Whirly then made out that he'd been reading about it for years and that he'd been laughing at my ignorance for months now. I took one quick look at his post and i burst into a fit of laughter. From the basic grasp of the principles and the fact that he believed there was only one was to spell Kaballah i knew the man was a novice who got busy with google the night before LOL.

It was me who pointed out the flaws in his understanding and I who initially posted some of the correct ways to spell the word. Just check here to see this for yourselves:

It seems Whirlys pride took a bit of a battering after i unveiled to the forum that despite the pretence that he is well read he is nothing but a google wh*re.

Through this thread and others in my absence it seems he's quickly tried to get his version of events across to as many people as possible as a way of saving face.

Visit the appropriate thread (given above) and join in with the hysterics. It was a long time coming.

EDIT: Nevermind, not like it would have gotten through anyways.

do you think you have to have read the Kaballah (i don't care how it's spelled) to be well read?.... i haven't read it.... and i'm pretty sure the vast majority of people i know haven't read it... and some of them go through a couple of books a week

I never said that or meant that as you very well know, you said that Scoob.

So much for not getting personal about the attacks there Whirly. . .

Also you should understand that there usually is not one set method for romanizing non-roman alphabet based languges.

Enforcing your opinon of "what the proper spelling is" when using the roman alphabet for these langauges is a bit condesending.

For example in transliterating japanese into roman characters there are a number of different romanization systems in use; the three main ones are Hepburn, Kunrei-shiki, and Nihon-shiki. But not one of them is "more correct" than any of the others. Which is best to use is merely opinion. As is how to romanize other langauges, such as Arabic or Hebrew.

Exactly.

Having been proved wrong and with no counter Whirly had to resort to criticising my spelling of the word in an attempt to save face. When i then pointed out that there were many different ways to spell the word in my absence Whirly made a number of these threads in an effort to save face.

This is no competition. You brought forward queries i answered them. Dont react with spite thats completely against the true spirit of a forum.

Lets all be grown ups here ok?

remember herd behaviour is a comical thing - challenge your ideas I googled it, as you said, and got a very interesting result.

So "who is" right then? Did you really comprehensively read the FAQ you got most of your post from?

It's saying that there are multiple ways to spell it. I thought it was odd that you talk about how there are multiple ways to spell it, and then go off talking about "who is" right.

Hang on..... So because he might spell it one way the rest of his views are incorrect???

...from a self confessed dyslexic you sure don't help your own view there Whirly...

Plus I've come to notice that when ever a thread seems to be going badly for you, another thread on similar lines pops up... Is this a diversionary tac tic?? Cause you seem to loose the new thread that pops up as well!

I always know how to spell my subject matter

"Kabbalah"

I guess I know why his called hit and miss - because he misses the point

its Kabbalah and that means tha the "Kabalah" of GS's is drivel
Pillars are not a hierarchy they are all intervonnected and part of each other.
Never use religion to try and explain comics, its like using science it does not hold up.
Missed the point

The funny thing is with each attempt to ridicule my perfectly acceptable spelling Whirly quotes my spelling differently. Even funnier is that theyre all perefectly acceptable so Whirly is making a big fuss out of nothing.

Yeah you were proved wrong but to go to all this trouble to save face?

One interpretation doesnt not equal he sum total of a religion. I soon showed you that didnt i mate?

Trying to hide your own mistake behind a small inconsistency in the spelling, due to "Popular vs historic" is lame

I get your whole "I'm whirly, I can't lose..." attitude, I showed in the Holocaust threads you made up... you lost then, and your losing now...

Why don't you start another thread??? its about that time...

A bitter old man googled kaballah, read up on one interpretation and thought he knew it all. He proceeded to post smugly in hope that he had caught me out only to have his hopes dashed when i tore apart his over night studies.

Trumped and somewhat perturbed the old man rushed around the forums making false claims on threads in a last ditch effort to save face.

That is the story of Whirlysplats demise.

Reading this thread made me grow a pocket protector out of my nipple.

Yes, we already discussed your "trollin" attitude..

Your such a pedantic guy whirly... Its a minor point at best... but you treat it like its the world... Colour/Color ... Whats the point???

Predictable response that I'm "miss"ing the point plz...

Kabbalah What difference does it make how it's spelled? If that's the way you prefer to spell it fine. But don't go saying that another person is wrong for spelling it in an accepted manner.

"A rose by any other name..."

You are FAR from one in a position to correct another person's grammar. And even using improper grammar does not render a person's point mute.

Or by your logic all of your points are wrong because you said "whose" in a place where it should have been "who is".

But that is certainly drivel. The whole conncept of "if you don't use impecable grammar you know nothing." is drivel

Insults boy don't change how its spelt

Its spelt Kabbalah boy, google it, it even corrects your spelling

anyone neutral knows you can't spell it

it proves his no expert

all it proves whirly is your soo pedantic to prove GS wrong, your targeting the name rather then the bulk of the argument... Even if he was wrong (not saying he is) it doesn't mean the rest of the post is wrong... Its like American/English spellings.... Just cause they spell it color doesn't mean there not referring to colours...

Get over it whirly... your fighting a losing battle, and only making yourself seem stupider the more you debate about a minor spelling due to translation problems....

Originally posted by Whirlysplatt

Then why don't you spell it קַבָּלָה instead if you are so knowledgeable?

Ok... I have to ask....do any of you actually care about what you're arguing about here?

I don't.
