Spelling

[edit]

Why is this spelled this way? It's not typically American style, which spells "theatre" as "theater". This seems especially confusing for a category.--Parkwells (talk) 19:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because the convention is to use "theatre" when referring to the art, whether British or American. We use "theater" to refer to an American building, and "theatre" to refer to a British building. — MusicMaker5376 20:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
