How Rhinocerous Is That Rhinoceros
I checked the Bricklink and Peeron links, and they also spell it "rhinocerous." Is that definitely the set's official spelling, or are the sites just copying each others' errors? --Dunjohn 22:30, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
I really don't know. :P ...Half Way out of the Dark... 22:31, May 3, 2011 (UTC) I think it is different in different countries :P 74.222.209.89 23:05, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

- For some reason Americans add the letter U, its weird, its common, and its not British. Gladiatoring 23:14, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

- Oxford English Dictionary spells it "Rhinoceros" in both British and US English. cjc 14:37, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
All I know is that this wiki spells things with extra "u"s, I don't know what language that is from, but that is what we do here. LEGO Lord Talk [[Special:Editcount/Lego lord|Special:Editcount/Lego lord Edits!]] ---- LEGO LOTR is coming! 00:06, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
"Rhinoceros" is never spelled with a "u." It's not like other words such as "honour" and "colour" that standardised differently in different regions. It's a universal zoological term. If LEGO spelled it wrongly when naming this set, even accidently, then the article title would also have to use the wrong spelling. --Dunjohn 23:42, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
- LL - the extra "u" in words like honour and colour are British English. cjc 16:21, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
