Argue about something important.

"Argue about something important."

Why? This is fun. Some poster calls the author of the article ignorant for naming a Biblical character correctly. I point out that Booz is the correct name, according to the King James Version, the most widely-used version of the Bible.

So, who's ignorant? Apparently it can be spelled both ways, and is Boaz in other translations. Yet...in the most popular translation, it's Booz. It's pronounced the same in both spellings.

Who care's if it's important? It's at least as important as the subject of the thread. Who cares what some British writer thinks about the Sistine Chapel ceiling? That's important?
