Re: OT Marx Brothers (was Re: Another Introduction)

Some of us think that "theater" looks strange.  I don't know why, because I
really don't do the e-r switch with any other words (well, except for
"Shakespeare," but I've never seen that "Shakespeaer," rather "Shakespear"),
but "theatre" looks better.  So, "center," "liter," "theatre".  Heh.

AMC actually has two separate URLs that they own --
http://www.amctheatres.com and http://www.amctheaters.com.  I'm glad because
I can't ever remember which one they actually use in their name.

Oh!  I also use "lightsabre" rather than "lightsaber".  The only time
"saber" looks right is when you stick "tooth" at the end, and even THEN I
usually do "sabretooth" and then look at it and change it back.
