This thread is over a month of old, so I'm not sure why your restarting the conversation.

Anyway, just to clear this up...

Fibre is the British spelling, and is also used throughout the commonwealth.

If you look at the etymology of the word, it comes from the French fibre, as the Normans had conquered England in 1066. That word comes from the latin fibra, which means a fibre or filament.

America DID NOT invent the English language. Please do your reserch and support modders and wiki makers THROUGHOUT the world, not just in the United States.

I don't have to do any research on the matter as I am British.

Yes 'Fibre' is the correct and most widely used spelling (as are colour and humour etc.)

But all of that goes out the window because this wiki is for the game and it is spelt 'Fiber' in the game.

If there was an item called 'Datbigbox' that's what it's page would be called. Not 'That Big Box' even though that would be the 'correct' way to write it.

And that's that! End of! Final! Last word! Complete!

... Nothing more to discuss.
