"holy ghost" is from the 17th century and earlier in English.

"spirit" is from Latin and "ghost" is from German. It really does not matter which term you use.

You mean the old hymn, "Oh, Happy Day?"

I guess not.

It is merely a question of terminology.

I have no particular preference.

And even if I did, there are more important things to discuss.

You should be Dutch. Simple. No words to choose from, just like grace and mercy, one word, lol.

I see anyone trying to persuade others to adopt his or her terminology, as being mean spirited, and not having a ghost of a chance.
