If ita wants to spell it moostache, I have no problem with that.
Woman Meets Cop's Taser Outside Wrigleyville Bar
Some post-baseball shenanigans got a woman shocked with a cop's Taser outside a Wrigleyville bar Wednesday evening.
A dance-off between two guys turned into a fight and spilled into the street outside Sluggers World Class Sports, at 3540 North Clark, witnesses said.
Dance-offs often turn into fights, huh? Now I wanna know exactly how that happened....
As one of the men was being arrested, his girlfriend became "very aggressive" and grabbed the shoulder and chest of one of the officers.
Women are often very protective of dance-off-having boyfriends. It'd be like arresting a bear cub while the momma bear is nearby....
It's weird. I will use "theater" when I am going to see a movie but "theatre" when I am going to see a performance.

Travel is a big one for me because of my company name. I'm a traveling music school. Travelling music school. Travell...travell...
I wanted to register all the varieties for my domain names.
I still use some of the unAmerican spellings, but I have no valid reason for doing so other than being a pretentious little Anglophile, evidently. Hee.
Thing is, if I'm thinking of it as a place where one goes to watch a film, it's a movie theater. If it's a performing arts building or discussion of the actvity, then it's very firmly "theatre" in my mind. At least I'm consistent in my inconsistencies.
Also, I just caught the CE in a mistake and kind of felt slightly victorious.

Which is really reason enough for me.

Do you pronounce it "thee-ah-tah" in that case?
Also, there was a whole thing on mustache v. mustaches or moustaches on A Way With Words recently.
