> I usually spell it theater for both. Of course, on days when I'm feeling more formal, or have been thinking about the british isles a lot, it tends to come out theatre. According to my school, I'm studying "Theatre Arts", which sounds incredibly stuck-up to me. :)There are people who get upset if you spell it the "wrong" way (ususally that means -er) but they are few and far between, in my experience.

I generally don't even notice. I spell it "theatre" (as I said), but that's just because I do, not because I think it's better that way. The same reason I spell "centre," "colour," and such things the ways that I do.

In case anyone cares how I spell "colour." :-}

Dar "It is the British way!" ien
