#### [Fiber-fied consistently] Fiber or Fibre?

It appears to be the former when on the ground and the latter when in your inventory... (caught by Avery♥)

- There is also a discrepancy in the AH. Their category is Fiber but the individual listings are Fibre.

- Also another oddity to report: If you drop more than 1 on the ground, it shows as, for example, "2 fibre". If you drop just 1, it shows as "fiber".

- WalruZ, were you my neighbour, I'd treat you in a civilised manner and refrain from using off-colour comments when speaking of fibre, because you're my favourite. ;)

- In the description for Fiber Arts II, there's still one more mention of "Fibre".

- I can read it just fine either way, but as a Canadian living in California I have had to become bilingual like that ;)

- Voluptua, my dearest sweet - I meant nothing off-color or otherwise, just pointing out that spelling is bound to become a problem in such a situation.
  (hums the potay-to potah-to / tomay-to tomah-to song and tries to work in fiber / fibre with no success.)

- Maybe TS is saying the plural of Fiber is Fibre?

- WalruZ, my esteeméd dance partner and source of rainbow-potion hilarity, I know your comment was not intended as a slight. I couldn't resist throwing in a plethora of 'u'-tastic words along with an 's'-vs.-'z' switcheroo after your dig at the inhabitants of my home and native land for having wicked-good spelling, eh. I'm a sucker for wordplay. 'Fibre' über alles!

- I edited the title a few days ago, but it was standardised to Fiber. :)

- kevbob--think of me as a lunatic-fringe spelling rebel hiding out in a cabin in the Rockies, swigging maple syrup. I saw your new-fangled spelling change, but I'm still stockpiling extra 'u's and muttering about the good old days. ...the thought of which is now making me laugh. :)
  I will post in here no more, I promise.
  *whispers* "fibre...
