Proper spelling of show title

Postby Neil » Mon Dec 16, 2013 11:37 pm

Hey everyone,

Just out of curiosity what is the proper spelling of this show. Is it The Marsden "Theater or Theatre" ? and if it does not matter what is the preferred spelling.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out here :)

Will that be an ER or an RE for your Theatre sir..??
Isn't the English language great, full of tricky werds to spell and lots of different pro nun c a shons...
RE is the correct way. it may be different in the States Neil. Like color and colour, colour being the English spelling ...for example

- Etymology is the study of the history of words

-Every word in the dictionary can be found in the alphabet

-The difference between a good speller and a bad speller is knowing when the spelled the werd wrong.....or something that...I cant remember.

just part of a perspective ....... ;) :roll:

The Marsden Theatre Chatroom sits on a server, which is located in LA. That is why and how the US spelling has found it's way into the mix. We are working on having that changed.
