I believe the correct spelling is "Echo Amphitheater," per, for example, the Carson National Forest web site, http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/carson/index.shtml (and references therein). I'm not normally a curmudgeon on the subject of American vs. Commonwealth English, but shouldn't the "official" spelling be preferred? -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 22:11, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hear! Hear! I'm not normally a curmudgeon either when it comes to that spelling issue, but bloody hell, tourists visit this formation on a regular basis wearing fanny packs! And I'm sure they often park their wide-size American fannies on rocks or logs to admire the beauty of this natural amphitheater! So let's keep it clean and culturally attuned, and use the American variations when discussing this phenom. Aight? (See the "fanny" disambiguation page, under British and American slang, to see why proper word usage and spelling are so bloody important, depending on which side of the big pond you're standing). 76.243.129.217 (talk) 05:57, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
