Kumran?

A TRAVEL PIECE ON QUMRAN is the first installment of a new column in the Jerusalem Post by Wayne Stiles. The column is standard media Qumran fare: substantially accurate but exaggerates the support for the Massoretic Text among the biblical Dead Sea Scrolls. But it's odd that a Jerusalem Post columnist thinks the English spelling of the site is "Kumran."
