Lola, nobody is spelling it wrong. Like most words taken from a language using a non-Roman alphabet, there can be several acceptable spellings.

 

Loofah is taken from an Arabic word. Luffa is actually the genus name of the plant on which the loofah grows.

 

Loofah is the actual entry in the OED. Wiktionary lists it that was also, with loofa and luffa as acceptable alternatives. Merriman-Webster says loofah, and luffa as a variant.

 

I've always used loofah (in a sentence, not the shower...)

 

finally one up on you JP. I have actually used a loofah in a shower and in a bath!😁
