[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] thee-ter (instead of the-a-ter)[/quote] Do you mean THEE-uh-ter, the way Brits pronounce it, or thee-ATE-er, the way some southerners pronounce it (like vee-HICK-el, same cadence)? I find pronouncing it the British way if you aren't British to be pretentious, and the southern way sounds just plain wrong unless that's your natural accent. But the real question is whether you spell it theater or theatre. My high school theatre teacher used the -re spelling, so I do it now instinctively, and sometimes people yell at me for it.[/quote] Wait, how do you pronounce it if not THEE-uh-ter? I'm 100% American and I think I pronounce it this way. [/quote] Many Americans just say THEE-ter. THEE-uh-ter is more correct but the other pronunciation is so common that it's no longer wrong.[/quote]
