    Sabre... I never use saber o_O'
    A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of.

    Umm well I always use sabre but I'm not sure why. Maybe it's my subconscious need to appear elite.

    Sabre for fencing, but lightsaber. Not really sure why, although I do have my theories....

    "saber" is always connected for me with "saber-rattling." For some reason.

    I use sabre because I'm Canadian and we like to spell things strangely.

    Nah, Fencergrl is allowed to corrupt me. She is, after all, my fake lesbian love interest.
