In the USA, a place where you see movies is a theater, while in the UK they call it Cinema.
Meanwhile, a theater in the UK is a place where they show operas (an "opera house" in the USA). 109.116.98.112 (talk) 12:42, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A theatre (spelt thus) in the UK is where they show (usually) plays. Also operas and other shows. Something called an opera house would probably show only or primarily operas. Snugglepuss (talk) 14:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, so I saw, but I couldn't find any other dictionary that thought so and, per the link in my edit summary, it does seem to have some currency in the US. I'll not object if you feel strongly about putting it back though, with the ref. (I've an eye on the article, having cleared out some of the more dubious unreffed entries but baulked at tackling the largely unreffed remainder.) Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It says this is a list of British words not widely used in the United States... Does "some currency" = "widely used"? Hard for me to judge. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merriam Webster doesn't list the term, although neither do most British dictionaries I've checked. I guess it's possible the use in a an American publication was by an expat Brit. With the Collins ref added for support, it's way ahead of most of the content of most of this article so I think it's fair enought to add it back.
