I have always made a conscious effort to use British English wherever
possible which I why I always refer to a computer "programme" meaning
a set of instructions I have typed into a Beeb, on this list and elsewhere.

Best wishes,


Ian

Similarly, 'license' is the US spelling of the UK noun 'licence'. I
consciously use the former because the 'net is American.
