I guess spelling can be important. Someone in our PM's office issued press releases related to PM Harper's visit to the Arctic. The press release referred to Nunavut's capital as "Iqualuit" rather than "Iqaluit". In the Inuktitut language, "Iqaluit" means "many fishes", "Iqualuit", however, means "people with unwiped asses". Strange but true.
