It’s called taquayeh (I know I misspelled it),

You do not misspell it. It is a transliteration of sounds that do not occur in the English language and are written in Arabic and as such is spelled in Roman characters as the speller hears it and tries to approximate it.

Thank You. So essentially there is no correct way to spell any islamic term?

Excellent. I will now spell "mohammed" as "Child molesting satanist dog pig". It just seems so much more accurate. :)
