Welcome to MR, Krittika! |
,
....and yet I feel that to be annoyed at the spelling 'caliber' could be a tad unfair. After all, etymologically speaking, 'liber' is Latin for 'book' (or the inner bark of a tree); as the cap would fit so well, some may find it a shade footling to decry it.... and it adds a deeper dimension to the good missus's original description in her opening post...
Kind regards
