Re: translating from U.S. to U.K. English

Hi,

I'm in the UK, and I never use the /ue. A program is a program not a 
programme, although some of the older help systems at my place use the old 
spelling. Of course, what we do here isn't automatically true of all of the 
UK, but I feel that when it comes to computer terminology the US spelling 
generally takes precedent. Perhaps online help differs to writing published 
hard-copy documentation?

Anthony
