Theatre/theater? All the theatres you've ever wanted to count.

   I was right to say I was not sure about my  Magnificent Seven Theatres. 
But, hey, I wasn't going to go through the 760 pages with only theatre, 
theatre, in mind.
   So I just checked the very useful index on Tim Ware's Hyperart site. 
Should have done that in the first place. They have 19 occurrences there 
(this includes theatre/theater/theatrical/theatrically, fair enough): pp 3; 
133; 148; 152; 174; 201; 247; 267; 302; 326; 352; 399; 438; 464; 521; 586; 
722; 743; 760. It just occurred to me that, oddly enough, theatre crops up 
on the very first and on the very last page of GR. A kind of material frame 
to the book.
   BUT. There is still only one theatER.
   I'm following the discussion. It is very interesting. Will be back with a 
personal take on the issue soon.
