"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?
You got me.
I am at work and am in a pissy mood because of it.
Lack of booze.
Carry on!

I must have bought an outlet mall edition of the King James translation that I'm looking at. It's spelled "Boaz" in this one. Oh no! They're all misprints...none of them have "Booz". I'll have to try to find an "authorized" King James version, no doubt.
