alt Hacker NewsYou spelled Iraq as "Irak". Is there a meaning to this? I couldn't find a reference but wonder if that's somehow a meaningful spelling.

Romanizations are fashion trends rather than any kind of science or real standardized system. Other than those places with Roman-era Latin spellings like Syria, others have dozens of variants.

Yeah, he's probably French.
It's the spelling used by French, German and couple of neighbouring languages.
