if they spell it without a hyphen, but they shouldn't.

You want Easter Sunday. You are wrong; that was the original idea, but
for centuries now the date has been determined by a formula approximating
the above. As well as making it simpler to compute the date, this change
also ensures that it is always the same worldwide, rather than sometimes
being a week apart in different time zones.
