John Wild Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Unlike the TV programmes, BBC4 radio is available outside the UK. ...Jim, when did you start spelling "programs" with two m's? ...program v programme seems to be another instance of American english and English English differring. I'm sure David knows that, and he was only asking why I, an American, was using British spelling. Well, seeing that I was responding to someone British about something British, I thought it would be polite to attempt the "local" language. Which do they use in denmark?

Which do they use in denmark? In Danish it's "program". For Danes writing in English, it depends on which version of "English" they learned. Funny, the last time I saw Louisa, one of the (many) things we talked about was language and language differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
