Hallo Marck, On Sun, 1 Oct 2000 13:49:07 +0100 GMT (01/10/2000, 20:49 +0800 GMT), Marck D. Pearlstone wrote: GE In fact your mail means, both is used for the same things (other GE than Marck said ? He is British, isn't he) but in two different GE countries ! MDP English *and* a computer programmer with formal computing education. MDP Trust me g! I trust you Marck, and so I looked it up. The course material which I receive from The Open University in England (www.open.ac.uk) uses both spellings; I believe it depends on the particular author. A Laurie Keller (she wrote the Course Units for MZX881: Architecture of Computing Systems, which I am about to finish) uses "programme". Roger Pressman, Ph.D. and of M880 course book fame, uses the spelling "program". But then, he is American. The different spelling in the US and the UK was created by a guy named Abraham Lincoln. He wanted to simplify the spelling and created confusion instead. Some examples of his rules are: Words ending on -gramme were changed to end on -gram. Words ending on -logue were changed to end on -log (dialog/dialogue). And so on; silent endings were just cut off. Some of his further suggestions, such as night/nite or light/lite didn't quite catch on; you'll find it in ads sometimes, as in "Cola Lite". - Funny thing is, Canada (the anglophone part) writes British and speaks American English. My degree in English doesn't make me British, so, Marck, you'll have the last word on this. It is just that I have come across this particular word "program/programme" in a computing context quite often these past months. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Message reply created with The Bat! 1.46d under Chinese Windows 98 4.10 Build 1998 using an Intel Celeron 366Mhz, 128MB RAM -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
