Theatre (or theater). Is correct.

Pet peeve: someone telling me I've spelled a word wrongly/made a grammatical error where I have not.

SATANAS EDIT
The Console War is hot this generation with Sony and Microsoft going head-to-head just like Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis back in the day. Right now we have three consoles on the market, but is there room for four? Check out the video article and please leave comments, because this can be the biggest news of the year if EA confirms it.

I've made the horror of this article 15% as opposed to the 79% it was at before.

It's still at 15 for awkward wording/run-on sentences, but without rewriting it completely, I can do no better.

More words:
completly
senteneces
foresaken

That's usually either done on purpose (for lulz) or an unintentional mistake, not a learned misspelling. I'd hope.

Wont is a word. But I assume you meant wont instead of won't.

If anyone said "defiantly" instead of definitely, that would be incredibly stupid.

"That was defiantly the best game I've ever played."

Imagine the amount of misinterpretations.
