My mom grew up on the same street as Smokey Robinson in Detroit. So for Chanukah, I wanted to reunite them via @Cameo. But the video takes a strange twist. pic.twitter.com/IZ3S9WusiJ

Smokey still handsome. I remember going to see him live in 1994 and some aunties were seated near me gushing over him and they were surprised by my fawning over him too lol. We were all at the church of Smokey that night.

I'd attend that mass every week, the Church of Smokey.

I probably wouldn't know how to pronounce Chanukah correctly either tbh. I typically hear it and see it as Hanukkah.

So I have seen it as Chanukah written out, but I've never seen anything with people saying that word instead of Hanukkah. Are they pronounced the same?

They're pronounced the same, yeah. It's basically transliterating Hebrew letters differently.

[mhfromnh]

it's pronounced the same, it's just that the CH denotes that the tongue should be against the pharynx.

lol but honestly as a celebrity you should google words you dont know before saying them outloud, especially when a stranger is prompting you to

In elementary, it was my turn to read aloud and I said "Mass o two shits" instead of Massachusetts.
