In America there is a usage distinction between theatre and theater.  The latter shows movies (Kino), and the former shows live performance.  I have no idea how this reads in the dictionary, but the word is always 'theatre' in a performing arts establishment.

Actually viruses is the correct plural for virus.


My medical dictionary says otherwise, but it's a bit old.

Interesting...I wonder when this was changed.
