Conclusions

 * What is official or correct and what is in common usage do not always align.
 * The English words in any spelling though regarded as colloquial are close to 3 orders of magnitude more common than the more official Persian word in any spelling.
 * The nukta spellings of both the English and Persian words are far less common than non-nukta spellings, even though nukta is official.
 * Candra vowels are not officially sanctioned according to multiple sources I've read yet for at least this word candra-o spellings are an order of magnitude more common than non-candra-o spellings.
 * While English-derivation and candra-usage are both orders of magnitude more popular than their alternatives, nukta usage is more divided with only about a 5:1 ratio in favour of not using nukta.
