As a student of Italian Tim the correct spelling is "Ciao"
That is of course if you were attempting to write Italian.

Hey Matt,
I appreciate your Italian critique. Joe Welsh, (God Bless him) also pointed out this blunder while I was still at home.
I honestly meant to spell Ciaou, instead of Ciauo. You see, the reason why I spell it that way is because that is how Ernest Hemingway spelled it in his book "A Farewell to Arms" (which really sucks, so don't read it) Seeing as how he lived in Italy for a few years, I figured that is he was correct.
I'd be curious as to whether that was how it was originally spelled and it has since changed spellings, or if he just screwed up. Let me know what you think.
Thanks again, both to you and Joe.
Ciao.
TK
