I have read your arguments for using the term bore in lieu of gauge and as I suspected they are without merit. You are overlooking the fact that it was the British that not only pioneered the industrial revolution but brought quality control to it. One of those controls was the introduction of gauge to bring a standard of measurement to wire diameters, sheet metal and among other things shotgun bores. This in turn brought to the world a better life. I do not see the use of bore vs gauge being that of an Anglophile because it looks past the one of those peoples great contributions.
I am not only an American, I am a red necked one and I think of Kings and Queens as so much horse hockey, but I have learned if I want to do business with the rest of the world its easier doing it through a British bank like Barclays. The British lady maybe getting a bit gray, her dress a bit out of fashion, but she is still a hell of a dancer and not one to be ignored.
Its GUAGE
