British english not standardised. #2080

Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

Most of the UG is standardised to use British english but program is used instead of programme, which is a small standardisation issue.

Team's Response

Hello there, thank you for raising this issue. However, we believe that there was no spelling issue as the British spelling of program (in the sense of a computing program) is still "program". Below is attached from Cambridge Dictionary (a British dictionary) and you might have confused the second definition with the first. image.png

As quoted from Merriem-Webster:

The computing sense of program is spelled the same way in both American and British English:

Therefore, we will be rejecting this. Thank you.
