Why do people spell it r-e and not e-r?
I feel like it works either way, but the r-e spelling is the snootier version.

Yes...honestly I'm not quite sure why I like to spell it that way...some people consider "theater" the building & "theatre" the art of performing, but I use "theatre" interchangeable (mostly because I like the way it looks!) haha... Really I think it's just a personal preference.
I think interesting your words,mainly facade - that in Portuguese we say "Fachada" ( the pronunciation is some thing like "fashada"). The pronunciation is different but the meaning it's the same 1-face of a building2-false, superficial appearance. And I find odd you don't use the "comma" behind c - in Portuguese is called "ce-cedilla" รง - I suppose is because you key board is English (obvious you are american!) and doesn't have this letter, and besides, English doesn't have "ce-cedilha"...
Theatre sounds like "teatro" (Portuguese), but I learnt in my English classes that this is a British pronunciation (that sounds bettter than "theater"), but in center or centre I think that there is not difference...
Thanks for have born my "short" words.
