I was going to send my lawyer a holiday greeting email. Should I just say “Happy Holidays?” Or, can I go ahead and say “Happy Hanukah?” He’s like, obviously Jewish, although there’s never been any reason for him to tell me he’s Jewish. But duh, he is.
I don’t see a problem with happy Hanukkah. I’m only half-Jewish, on my Dad’s side (which apparently makes me not Jewish at all), was raised an atheist and am an atheist, and I get a number of Happy Hanukkah’s every year. I appreciate them all as wishing me well. Nobody (well, maybe a few lunatics will.) is going to get mad at a holiday greeting.
Happy Hanukkah it is then. Two K’s in Hanukka?
I believe the holiday ended over a week ago. . .might just be better off with “Happy Holidays!”
Wikipedia has both one and two K’s and also Chanukah. No idea which is best.
ummm…are you aware that Hanukah ended 2 weeks ago?
Of course, it’s the thought that counts, and nobody will get mad at you for trying to be nice.
But maybe phrase it in the past tense : “I hope you had a happy Hanukah and best wishes for the new year.”
But does he know you know that he doesn’t know? 
So, “Hope you had a Happy Hanukka and are having happy holidays?”
I know he’s having happy holidays because the fucker’s never around. 
I have here “In Love With Norma Loquendi” by William Safire. He cites the case of County of Allegheny vs. the ACLU in which the word chanukah came up for the first time in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court decided to spell it “Chanukah”. Thats good enough for me.
But it would be up to the Sanhedrin rather than the Supreme Court wouldn’t it?
The members of the Sanhedrin were very knowledgeable, especially in languages, but I doubt that they could spell in english. 
Perhaps some of them could. 
:dubious:
Really? How is it obvious? He’s a Democrat with a big nose who went to law school?
I really, really hope I’m surprised by your answer.
Chill out. Maybe he’s seen us pee.
I’m probably going to dissapoint you but everyone in the firm has a surname ending in witz, berg, or stein without a single McProtestant name among them.
Sue me. I’ve got a pretty good lawyer.
Yep, I’m disappointed. I’ll leave it at that, considering the forum.
Oh, I’ve got a couple other reasons, but you seem fired up.
Shouldn’t that be “but do you know he knows that you dont know?” I mean, what you said doesn’t make any sense to me, but it gets confusing because there are two things being known, the guy’s Jewosity, and the act of revealing it.
I just dont know anymore, you know?
I know that you don’t know.
The Supreme Court has been known to be unreliable on matters of disputed spelling, though. For example, I’m fairly sure that they were once known to refer to cannabis as “marihuana” with an ‘h.’ These days I think they’ve pretty much adopted the “marijuana” spelling.
