Chiefly British

@coopey I suppose those words have the benefit of being defrenchified. I just find them a bit anomalous.

Changing my car’s transmission oil didn’t entirely right it, but putting in eight new spark plugs did. Now it pulls, though at 0-60mph in 14 seconds it’s never going to give you whiplash.

@matigo It’s curious that there are no TV programmes to speak of about computers given how huge they are in our lives. I suppose they are seen as just tools…like screwdrivers and drills.

I’m a bit confused as to whether I can type ‘computer programme’ as a British version of ‘computer program’ or not. The alternate American spelling is cited at the top but definition 2 seems to be an exception, unless I’m misunderstanding it. If it is an exception, why would it be so?

@matigo I don’t think the arguments are genuine arguments. I think they’re just tactics….of the vampiric type. So I don’t think there’s much point in arguing back.

@matigo Sounds like a sensible idea. Paying for the same thing twice would make me angry.
