The official web page for the White House lists Sec of State as "Condoleezza Rice." Two e's, two z's.

However, in response to my first post with the misspelling and Dr D's response, please do a Google search with any of several variations - you will be amazed at the number of web pages found with "Condoleza," "Condoleeza," "Condolezza," "Condolesa," "Condolisa," ad nauseum. And all refer to the same person, just with people who get it close, or not even close.

"Condoleeza" is common, but still nowhere near as common as "Condoleezza." Besides, many of the search results link to pages where it *is* spelled correctly. Examples:

<sigh> Yes, Master. I understand, Master. I was wrong, Master. My previous posts were unworthy, Master. I will make no further comment, Master.

I'm sure at least one of you was trying to make a point with all this, but I think we can safely say that nobody's really interested in hearing it anymore.

I find that hard to believe. Magazine, journal, or newspaper articles almost always use the correct spelling: "Condoleezza."

I've seen the apparently incorrect spelling in both The New York Times and Time magazine. Actually, the Time article mentioned her twice and used two different spellings of her first name.

All names were "made-up" at some point, Hyacinth.

Yes, my name means hyacinth, but I was not named after the flower. I was named after the Spanish dramatist Jacinto Bentavente y Mart&#237;nez. Jacinto is a popular name in Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. Be that as it may, the name means something. According to reports I've read, Dr. Rice's mother got her daughter's name from the musical notation con dolcezza, 'with sweetness', which would support the double 'zz'. However, and this is my point about the term 'made-up', while con dolcezza means 'with sweetness', Condoleezza does not. In fact, it means nothing.

I said "almost always." Your initial statement is still very hard to believe.

So um, how does this support your initial point? iPod is a *gasp* "made-up" name. How is spelling "one of its pitfalls?"

Thanks, DMW. I'm glad you have actually seen it, as have I. (Dr D's links to the contrary...)

As for the made-up names, remember when the apostrophe in a made-up name was popular? (Popular now but fading, is any name that the ending rhymes with "eesha".) Well, anyway, I always though a superb made-up name would be S'Phyllis. By the way, I did see a documentary once, and while it was not the focus of the documentary, it did explain some of the impetus for all the made-up names. PM me if you want a brief synopsis, I won't bore everyone here, and risk the wrath of the Doctors.

I've seen it too. Learn how to read. DMW's initial post: "Most articles I've read spell it Condoleeza, with only one 'z'."

From www.nytimes.com:

Search results for Condoleeza: 14
Search results for Condoleezza: 2165

Wrath? It was said as a matter of fact. Perhaps you've gained a 3rd eye via studies in China with a mountain guru and are keen to emotions contained within text, but I fucking doubt it.

There's a world of difference between trying to figure out how to spell iPod and puzzling over Condoleezza. Ask someone with a made-up name like Shiquonika how often someone spells her name correctly on the first try.

The NY Times gets it right 99.4 percent of the time. It's not that hard. ;-) And well, there is also a world of difference between trying to figure out how to spell Vatisha and puzzling over Ophthalmology.

If jesus was sent by God to die for our sins, then wasn't he put on the cross by God?

No, sinful man crucified Jesus on the cross, and no way can the loving God have intended it to be. My belief is that God sent Jesus to show us by his life how we should live and not by his death, but sinful man stepped in and crucified Jesus. God's plan was for Jesus to show us the way to live our lives for salvation, but because of sin, God ultimately accomplished this by a different manner, i.e., the crucifixion. Read Leslie D. Weatherhead's "The Will of God" for a clearly explained statement of this subject.

Oh bloody hell... even in trying to avoid the wrath, I garnered it. Fuck. No damned way around it.
