    Why? Half of us are more than capable of spelling it the correct way.

    No because the official spelling is Chihuahua, no CHIWAWA.

    Just learn to spell it right.

  • Why? Just because a lot of people can't spell correctly doesn't mean we should permanently change the spelling of a word.

    It's amazing how many kids in my school can't read or write properly. I don't know what happened.

    Why? Too hard of a word for you to spell?

    EDIT: You know chihuahua's are named after the city in Mexico, right?

    I like Chihuahua spelled just the way it is and I don't see any reason to change the way it's spelled.

    No puede estar hablando en serio? Un chihuahua es un perro mexicano!

    But what do you text it as? Chih??? Enough dumbing down.

    Ask the AKC, they will let you know. My guess is probably not!

    No, don't dumb down the English language any more than it is!

    Why? No, I seriously doubt that it would be possible.
