The spelling (deprecated template usage) tzadik is by far the most common. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 10:33, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Actually, the spelling tzaddik is by far the most common. (Google Ngram Viewer: tzaddik, tzadik, tsaddik, tsadik; Google Ngram Viewer: Tzaddik, Tzadik, Tsaddik, Tsadik) —RuakhTALK 12:09, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Then the number of results here and here must be a glitch. I never understood why Google botches the numbers all the time. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 12:17, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Google-counts are incredibly unreliable, but the Ngram Viewer uses books up through the year 2000, so it's at least theoretically possible that the proportions on the Web are genuinely different. However, my impression is that the hits at google:"tzadik" are, by and large, not actually using it as an English word, whereas a fair proportion of the hits for "tzaddik" are; this is probably enough to account for the discrepancy. —RuakhTALK 14:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
I don't know, the discrepancy is quite large (1,780,000 vs 192,000). The only way I think you can account for it is if Google is finding results that don't actually contain "tzadik". But regardless, can we get this moved to (deprecated template usage) tzaddik then? --WikiTiki89 (talk) 14:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Done Done. I find it ironic that even after all this discussion, nobody bothered to clean up the entry. I did that, and I also cleaned up the citable alt-forms and their irregular plurals. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 07:41, 21 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
