As someone who worked in professional theatre (and yes, in the US, most theatre professionals use the British/Canadian spelling), I was very happy that my first instinct to spell THEATRE correctly was spot on.
I was surprised that you were surprised at the word RV-ER. I've found that pretty commonly used on a lot of message board forums related to travel.
This was fun! And I love that two Brits created it. I like the simple ones, and I needed something like this today as my weekend was a bit stressful. I was a bit stymied on 1D until I remembered the correct spelling. My pilot brother would have been ashamed. I should add that I am 70 years old, and I have never seen Groundhog Day. I guess I have to rectify that.
@susan p - I respectfully disagree. I've worked with many fibers over the years and both cashmere and angora are considered wool. Granted, it is a different type of wool than sheep wool, but it is still wool.
@Paul Nope, I think that it's a tradition that has come down through the centuries. For what it's worth, most theatre professionals are the least pretentious people I know, and would give you the shirt of their back if you asked for it.
@Lars And whiteboards are now being replaced by electronic boards. You'll still find them but most teachers prefer the Promethean and other similar boards.
@Holly You were robbed!!! I'd go back and demand justice!! :-)
@Sam Corbin I think that all ambiguous words like that should be eliminated from spelling word lists. No more betrayals!
