This what I don’t understand...Arabic letters and english letters are different. Why would the guy mentioned in this post have his name spelled “Huseyn” while Saddam and the King of Jordan have their names spelled “Hussein”? It would seem to be to be the exact same word. There should be no correct way to spell a word in a different language that doesn’t even use english letters. There should only be a standard way of spelling a word that is pronounced a certain way.

I know! I thought they were just typos.

Maybe it’s like bear, bare and beer?

Drives me nuts and it’s a short drive lately..
