So on the Web at large, fasolada is more popular than the other spellings combined; in Greek, φασολάδα is 40 times more common than φασουλάδα. In books, fassolada comes a close second. In Greek dictionaries (Babiniotis and Andriotis), φασολάδα is the main entry; φασουλάδα is listed as "more vernacular" (λαϊκότερο). So I'm moving to the most common English spelling, which is also the standard Greek spelling, fasolada. --Macrakis 15:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
