    I’m a native English speaker and spatial is correct.

    “Spacial” is a misspelling that became oddly popular for some in AR and VR, but it is absolutely a misspelling of spatial.

      I would be considered also a “native” english speaker, and i do not like this dictionary adherant approach to speech, who holds the truth?, it is everhwhere, now you can make an argument that I should use spatial which would have some sense to it, but i am not “wrong”

        Common use is what holds the truth, or people will have trouble understanding what you’ve written, which had already happened in this post.

        If you dont want anyone to understand, go for it I guess, good luck.

            To be fair I am ancient and loved spatial cause it reminds me of spatula but it’s for space. So I didn’t know spacial and looked it up and was confused why it was all techbro companies lol, till I came to the comments

            Not to stop you from living your life, but I do want to highlight spatial does have legs to stand on (vis-à-via previously mentioned spatula connection that likely only I have made)

            (Also my first guess for spacial was a facial in space, dealer’s choice on the type of facial I suppose)

              So… What I already said?

              Cool.

              Sorry you’re so mad about my offer to help with spelling. Dont worry, I’ve already tagged you so I won’t bother with you again.

                  British English would also be spatial, actually. Spacial is only an alternative in American English, for the reasons I already mentioned - some specific circles of AR and VR.

                  It comes from the Latin spatium.

                  The first use of “spatial” comes from the UK.

                  Enjoy your day, I’ll not bother replying to you again.

                  or maybe learn about the world a little bit before self exherting, otherwise you will always end up in this position of arrogance
