Is it truly 'sabacc' as opposed to 'sabaac'?

I've always thought it was sabaac, but the SW Encyclopedia spells it sabacc.

Does anyone know the correct spelling for one of the levels on Rogue Squadron - is it Raltier?

"Atrusian" or "artusian" crystals, used by Desann in his Reborn project? The Dark Forces Saga, Part 6 has the former, but they apparently come from the planet Artus Prime, suggesting that the article may have a typo.

I have seen it both ways, frequently, and tend to favor 'sabaac.'

Not that it really makes a difference, as I am not going to have my stories published anytime soon.... ;)

Nejaa and Keiran Halcyon added.

The screenplays themselves use 'Annie'.
That's what I use. Note that "Anni" appears in some places as well.

The spell check won't accept "Palpatine" either. ;)

Which is the preferred spelling for Anakin's nickname: Ani or Annie?

Since it's a nickname, I guess it could be either.

EDIT: However, the spell check won't accept 'Ani'. This may just be because 'Annie' is a real name.

Google gives almost as many hits for 'Neeja Halcyon' as for 'Nejaa Halcyon' . . .

"Rogue" (I.E. scoundrel, thief, cion artist) s the proper spelling for "Rogue Squadron", "Rouge" is what a woman puts on her cheeks. It's a reddish color. These are two of the most confused words in the english language.

Well yeah, that's what I meant to say. :)

Interestingly, I see lots of people using "Rouge" when they mean "Rogue" but almost never the other way around. I wonder why.

I'm not sure if this was already addressed....but the headgear that Adi Gallia and Stass Allie wear...I've seen it spelled as:

Toloth headdress

and

Th'oloth headdress.

So, which is officially correct??:|

I have all sorts mental footnotes that remind me how to spell things. I just remember "plague is" for Plagueis. For Zam Wesell, I think "we sell"

I'm wondering how Darth Plageus is spelt, is that right? None of my attempts seem to be right.
