        _Theatre or theater? Words like caliber, somber and liter were at one point spelt calibre, sombre and litre even when used in English. This was only to protect the French etymology of the word. The word Theat(-re,-er) is the only one still debated. People in the theat(-re,-er) world tend to spell it theatre and those who are not spell it theater. A director once told me that the word theat(-re,-er) was the very thing that was holding people back from coming to the theat(-re,-er).

        Some people feel that theat(-re,-er) is pretentious.

        We tend to agree.
