Hello,

Is "wholism" an accepted variant spelling of "holism now? When I first saw it, I thought it was a mispelling or a typo. But it's listed in the Oxford Dictionary of English. If anyone spell the word with a "w", will most people think it's a mispelling?

Thanks,

Nawee

It makes sense given the meaning. I have never seen it spelled with a "w," but if Oxford says it is okay, then it is probably okay.
