Ok so as most of you probably know, the back emblem on a lot of cherokees says something along the lines of 4.0 litre high output. That's what mine has. A buddy of mine started argueing with me over the spelling and he's driving me nuts. Is it just that when refering to engine size the "e" comes at the end?

 

Has nothing to do with engine size...

Here ya go

us vs canadian/british (european ie france)
just like color vs colour

 

yeah thats exactly what i said. Its the same word just different spelling. He tried to tell me someone f**ked up my emblem.

 

Haha

 

That's funny. I've seen cherokees with both spellings. I think the years have something to do with that too.

 

Blame Canada

 

great south park resemblance

 

Gimmie a litre of cola!

 

This is 242ci the american version

 

Ha mine says litre too.. i always thought they just messed it up but now i know why! Thanks!

 

Arguement is not the same as argument.
A liter is a Litre is 1000cc's.
Potato, poh-tah-toe, tomato, toh-mah-toe.

 

"Liter" is the common spelling in American English.

"Litre" is the British/Australian/International English spelling

Since AMC was partnered with Renault at the time, the use of International English makes sense.

Both spellings are correct - it simply depends on where you are and to whom you are speaking (I favour the British/Australian spellings, as you may have noted from my posts to date...)
