Should this be "Theater in the United States"? (Compare Religion in the United States, cf Folklore of the United States, Cinema of the United States.) User:Quadell
- I'm thinking it probably should be.. I'll make sure there's a redirect at any rate.. —User:Mulad (talk)

[edit] President Dwight of Yale College
This article quotes "President Dwight of Yale College" writing an essay in 1824. According to the Yale University page, there were two presidents called Dwight in the 19th century -- Timothy Dwight IV and Timothy Dwight V. But IV died in 1817, and V was born in 1828, so just who wrote this diatribe in 1824? rickK 66.60.159.190 17:32, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The Harvard Crimson gives the date as 1794. I'm not sure where the other date came from. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 23:08, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
- That came, from me I'm afraid. My mistake. Thanks for the pickup. DJ Clayworth 19:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] theater
b/c this is about theater/theatre in the US then why is it spelled as "theatre" instead of "theater"? I'm sure it honestly does not matter, but shouldnt that be the way it is? The Texas Drama King 07:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Agreed, and then some: while it is indicated in the article that "theatre" should be used under certain circumstances, it is clear from modern US dictionaries that "theater" is the preferred spelling in the US for all situations. Gruber76 15:09, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
