  • Usage of program and programme:
    • US: program is the only spelling normally used, no matter which sense it is used in.

    • Canada: both program and programme are used, but program is more common.
    • Australia: program is endorsed by the Macquarie Dictionary and is frequently used in both formal and informal settings.
    • New Zealand: programme is favoured by New Zealand dictionaries, and is endorsed by government usage; program is rarely seen outside the computing meaning.
