I generally spell things the Americuhn way, but considering Axiom is Canadian, I'd say it should be English with the French Twist.

Damn, French Twist sounds sexual.

You know, I always spell it Center and Theatre. Centre, to me, makes me sound it out like sentry.

My wife (British) and I (Canadian) argue about spelling all the time. In the end, I say whichever variant is used the most wins.

It really doesn't bother me either way, I figured the reason was because of the French/Engilish differences.

I think there should have been more choices. Personally, I notice when words are not spelled the way I'm used to, but it doesn't bother me that much. However, with respect to two of the words used in the OP, I have the following comment;

To me, center is the middle of something, so it is appropriate for a (loud)speaker. Centre is an auditorium-like place where one goes to see the arts, performing or otherwise. A theater is where one goes to watch a movie. And a theatre is where one goes to enjoy the symphony, or a play, or opera. So its really four words in my book.
