Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / June 2006Dodge misspells name of it's latest awful car.
It's calibre. Not caliber. Typical. > It's calibre. Not caliber. > > Typical. Depends on where a person lives. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliber http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibre > It's calibre. Not caliber. It's an American car, ya f.cking Limey. > Typical. Yup, you Brits are all the same.  SignatureIf you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space. Linux Registered User #327951 > It's calibre. Not caliber. > > Typical. Dodge did not misspell the name of the Caliber. Not sure where you are picking that up from. The car has really been selling well here in the States: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060603/BUSINESS01/606030308 > It's calibre. Not caliber. > > Typical. Just like it's labour, not labor? American car, American spelling. And while were on misspelled names, anyone remember the GMC Syclone? They couldn't use "Cyclone" (correct spelling) because Mercury owned the rights to that designation. (I used to have one - Syclone. that is. Damn, that thing was quick!!!!) >> It's calibre.

In America, there's no apostrophe in the possessive of "it," is there? Maybe that's different in the UK, too. Getting a little nitpicky here, aren't we? The poster's use of "it's" is entirely correct, at least in the USA. It is merely a contraction of "it is" in his sentence. You are correct, however, that in its possessive use (no pun intended) there is no apostrophe. db > >> It's calibre.

Yup My charger has 3.5 l. under the bonnet and I put my golf clubs in the boot !! lol ...and by all accounts, the calber is a pretty good and selling very well. >> It's calibre.
