While the people of Libya struggle to remove a dictator that has ruled over their country for over 40 years the media in the United States struggles to figure out exactly how to spell his name properly. As it turns out there is no one correct way to do it but several hundred ways it seems. The problem is that there are no exact letters or equivalent sounds in English for spelling several parts of his name ergo you get the numerous variations. Here are just some of the many different spellings that I came across in researching this article on how to spell that guy's name, what's his face:- Muammar Qaddafi
- Mo'ammar Gadhafi
- Muammar Kaddafi
- Moammar El-Kadhafi
- Muammar Qadhafi
- Moammer El-Kazzafi
- Moamar Al-Gaddafi
- Muammar Al-Qathafi
- Moamer El-Kadhafi
- Muammar Qadafi
- Moamar Gaddafi
- Mu'ammar Qadhadafi
- Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi
- Muammar Quathafi
- Muammar Al-Khaddfi
- Mu'ammar Al-Qadhdhafi
- Mu'amar Kadafi
- Muammer Gheddafi
- Muamar Khadafy
- Muammar Ghaddafi
- Mu'ammar Al-Qaddafi
- Mohammer Q'udafi
POST SCRIPT: On October 20, 2011 Muammar Qaddafi was captured by rebels in Libya and brutally beaten, tortured, and finally shot at close range in the head. His death ended a 42 year reign as the leader of Libya.
