    Convertable, instead of convertible.

    I can live with quite a few of these common blunders, but I won't have any dealings with someone who can't properly abbreviate the word etcetera.

    How difficult is it to get 3 freakin' letters in the correct order???

    The correct name is Challenge Stradale... Though obviously based off of the 360 Modena, its name is merely the "Challenge Stradale", not 360 Challenge Stradale or any variations thereof...

    Since we are also touching upon grammar....

    "can I" as opposed to "may I"

    I don't believe there is a pleural form of "Ferrari".

    Judging from the most common posts on this board, there is no pleural, only a possessive: "Ferrari's".

    Well, I think "Ferraris" looks better than "Ferrari's," because makes the poster look like he doesn't know the differnece between plural and possesive.

    Maybe we should make an official Fchat word for the plural form of Ferrari.

    My pet peeves are 'should of', 'could of', and 'would of'. Duh. People are so lazy they take the contractions 'should've', 'could've', and 'would've' and insert 'of' instead of the correct 'have'. I also see 'truely' all the time. There is no e.

    "I could care less..." often gets inserted by a frustrated poster who is hopefully losing the argument he is taking part in.

    "I couldN'T care less..." is what they are trying to say, but God, do you entirely miss the concept of the phrase?


    Ferraris is the plural in English. Italian is setup differently, but you can't apply the rules of Italian to English without it sounding exceedingly odd. ie, I see two Ferraris (Vedo due Ferrari).

    Doesn't that depend on where you're from?
    In Canada people probably use the 'colour' spelling most, but I believe in the US 'color' is correct.
    Of course, correct me if I'm wrong on this.

    About apostrophes, would it not be correct to say "It's my car"?
    It was said that when it's possessive that there is no apostrophe. Are you sure? I thought that's when you use one for sure!

    Can someone help me on this one, where do you put the punctuation when you use quotes?
    Eg: The guy saw my car and said "Is that your car"?

    What are the rules with quotations?

    That would be:

    The guy saw my car and said, "Is that your car?".
