The Noun: Program or Programme? The basic difference is between different languages: American English always uses program, British English uses programme unless referring to computers and Australian English recommends program for official usage, but programme is still in common use. So, if you’re writing in British English, here are some examples of how to use programme and program correctly: We’re still drawing up the programme for the concert. This computer program won’t run on my PC. I missed my favourite television programme last night. The Verb: To Program, Programmed, Programming The word program is also a verb, as in “I’ll program the computer today.” In this case, both American and British English use “to program”. These forms are also valid in American English: - programed - programing But the Oxford English Dictionary recommends the double-m instead, which is in far more widespread usage: - programmed - programming
