My biggest one is roll/role. I'm an actor and theatre technician and see that from other actors and theatre adjacent people more than I should. It's a role you play, not a piece of bread.

Spelling related tangent: do you differentiate between theatre and theater?

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. I was taught "theatre" is for plays, musicals, etc as it pays homage to the history (Shakespeare and the like) . "Theater" is reserved for the movies or theater of the mind.

For most Americans, it's theater across the board. It's only those who have had education, training, or work in the field that use theatre. At least in my experience.
