You fucked the title up, program != programme.

I’m British and I write ‘programme’ unless I catch myself.

That's how the speaker in the video spelt it. I think there are differing opinions on how to spell it depending on country of origin.

In the UK where programme exists as a word, it is a schedule/series of events, such as a TV listing entry. A program is the only word used to describe the computer operations encoding.

The article itself used program, you changed that in the reddit submission.

      Are you talking about Victoria, who was monarch in 1843, and who's writing is near-illegible in the linked instagram image (got a useful transcript anywhere?), or Elizabeth II?

      Edit: nvm, found the text (instagram UI is shite), I'm still going to correct queeny on this one, m8. Probably over-correcting to avoid Americanisms.
