    Good to see a new business opening in Waterford City Centre. Get & Go moves into the unit that was held by Freesoul that lasted a few months before departing. Get & Go appears to be some sort of newsagents, which should be useful in the heart of the city.

    So is this Waterford City Center one of those new shopping malls? A location would have been good. :)

    The correct word is center.


    Center is a location or a position.

    Centre is a noun. For example, the Child Care Centre or Waterford Shopping Centre, Lisduggan. As we all know, WS Centre Lisduggan is not in the center of the city.

    The Americans use the word center for both defintions.

    That's how it was explained to me ages back.

    ETS: Just googled it so ignore what I said above.
    There is no difference in meaning between center and centre. Center is the preferred spelling in American English, and centre is preferred in varieties of English from outside the U.S.

    Some people do make distinctions between the words. For instance, some prefer to treat center as the word for a place or institution and centre as the word for the middle point of something. But while these preferences may be taught in some schools and are perhaps common among careful English speakers in Canada, the U.K., and elsewhere, they are not broadly borne out in 21st-century usage.
