Why is it "program" as opposed to "programme"? Is there a reason for this? In the 20th century, I believe "programme" was the accepted form. Badgerpatrol (talk) 10:38, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

is it still spelled that way in the UK? It seems to me that the reason it is spelled "program" is simply that this is how it is spelled today in most of the English speaking world. It should be irrelevant how it was spelled in the early 20th century. Rudy Breteler (talk) 05:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I didn't say the early 20th century, I said the 20th century. This word is spelled "programme" in the UK and in most of the English speaking world. Previous to the 20th century, I think "program" may have been the accepted spelling wordlwide, hence my comment above, but as you say archaic forms are not particularly relevant. Today, "Program" is only used as a term in computing. Badgerpatrol (talk) 06:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
