re: Which way do you like to spell theatre/theater?

I spell it theater, regardless of whether it's referring to a stage show or a cineplex. I only use theatre when it's part of a name like Colonial Theatre, Majestic Theatre, etc. I guess same reason why everyone (including Brits and the like) spell Technicolor instead of Technicolour because it's a trademark. I've actually seen British movies that have opening credits like "colour by Technicolor."

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

"Theatre" is just way cooler. It looks British and old-school. I write "Theater" when referring to, like, movie theaters, though.

I go both ways... I mean I spell it both ways :)

I remember my first drama teacher told me he liked to use theater to refer to the actual place, while theatre was the actual art of theatre. Since then, I have always done the same. But theatre does look a lot prettier either way as well...
