another spelling bee

The debate as to whether local theatre is amateur or community theatre is a hoary old chestnut. However, on looking through the Theate.asn. website, I am now wondering if there should other considerations.

The contributors to this site have used the following:-

Ameteur theatre (19 times), Amature theatre (84), Amatuer theatre (190), Amteur theatre (1), Amtuer theatre (1), Ametuer theatre (14) and the correct spelling of Amateur theatre (>500).
Perhaps Community theatre (>1500) is safer, with the only variation being Comunity theatre (21) and thankfully Communety (0).

well done

Well spotted gentlemen. I deliberately left the 'r' out to see how many people are aware of spelling mistakes, but didn't mean to miss the word 'be' out. An elephant stamp and gold star to both.

Don't worry Tim, if I pick on others it is only fair that they can pick on me.
