Is it Fibre or Fiber
Our US partners spell fiber this way whilst most UK organisations will use fibre. However it’s becoming more common to see the US spelling of fiber used as organisations adopt a more global stance. We will if you prefer change our course material to the USA fiber as apposed to the UK fibre to suite your company policies. Within this web site we use fibre as the standard and not fiber.
An Ongoing Debate
The debate over the correct spelling of words first began when Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language was published in1755, followed by Noah Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language in 1828. While people in England preferred Johnson's spellings, Webster's simplified variations became increasingly popular in the United States.
