That should be "favour".

Surely you mean "theatre". You see, it's much easier to pronounce it correctly when you spell it correctly.
I would not presume to send either American spelling or American pronunciation to Mordor. But when they creep across the Atlantic and corrupt the very mother-tongue from which they were derived, then it's straight off to Minas Morgul with them as far as I'm concerned (or it would be if I wasn't already here myself)
I've lost count of the number of times that I have screamed at news presenters that it's con
