English, food: fibre, or fiber?
Food research leads to self-tutoring: the tutor follows a query about spelling.
When I type fibre, the screen cautions me I might have it wrong. Really?
fibre:
Merriam-Webster: British of fiber
Oxford Canadian: dietary fibre
Oxford Canadian doesn’t list fiber. Merriam-Webster does: from their point of view, one of its meanings is dietary fibre.
