Re: [TCML] Nicola Tesla acknowledged in a film

Hi Dave,

Nikola is the "usual" spelling in English. All translations of names 
are phonetic, so the "correct" spelling depends upon the language, 
time, and alphabet in which you are writing. FWIW, in Russian, the 
"correct" spelling of Coca Cola is with three K's.
