In the Commonwealth we say maths but we still say code. I've noticed we also tend to also write "computer program" the US way, despite writing "TV programme".

- qubex 9y agoYup, British-educated here: programme for sequences of activities, program for the thing the computer runs... it’s just a little oddity I’ve noticed I’ve picked up and seem to be quite consistently applying.
- Nition 9y agoYep. Even though a computer program is... a sequence of activities.
- qubex 9y agoYes... and I use ”to programme” to denote the activity of planning activities, and ”to program” to indicate the process of coding instructions into a computer. I would probably use ”programme to program” if I ever had to discuss the idea of planning one’s intentions to issue instructions to a machine.
