So then the chart I posted won't help you much, as is doesn't sound like you were the pilot on that flight.

Why do so many Jewish words (right term?) have so many different spellings?

When they are spelled in English? Because they are transliterations of Hebrew words, and because many Hebrew letters have no precise parallel in English there is no hard rules for the transliteration.

Plus there are multiple pronunciations even within Hebrew (think accents) which would be transliterated differently.

So the word blessing could be:
Bracha
Brachah
Brocho
Brochah
Brucha
Bruche
Brucheh
Brakha

You can just disable notifications for the app.
Disregard if this post was just meant to show off.

No it is a legit question. I mean like taking your phone off the hook. So no one can get through. Then hang the phone back up and everything is back to normal.

Yes. No way to do it without blocking numbers or uninstalling the app as far as I know.

When you reinstall it would get whatever messages are waiting to come in.
