What’s the meaning of calque?: A calque is a loan translation, or a word or phrase from one language that is translated literally into another language.

For example, the English word “skyscraper” becomes “rascacielos” in Spanish (“rasca” is “scrape” and “cielos” is “skies”).

Unlike loanwords, which are borrowed directly, calques are translated versions of the original expression.

Quillbot’s Grammar Checker can make sure your writing is free of spelling and grammar errors, even when it includes calques.

These are palindrome dates in American English, where the date format is MM/DD/YYYY. In British English, which uses DD/MM/YYYY, some of these palindromes won’t work.

Palindromes can be dates, numbers, names, or words. People sometimes create funny palindromes for humorous effect.
