  4. I got 8. I accidentally ticked the wrong answer. Theatre and theater are the same. Theatre is British spelling while theater is American. I get confused between British and American spellings on the same words.
    Another example is centre (British) and center (American).
    Good quiz.

    • I agree with you. We go by what British taught us before leaving our country? There are countless ways both spell things differently. I am a staunch follower of what the British have to say

      When it comes to theatre or theater. I think theatre refers to operation theatre in a hospital

      • I have also seen the word “there” mistakenly used as part of a title to a post in one site. I have been urged to correct it but thought otherwise especially that the writer is very sensitive.
