    Quick question..

    Writing up documentation right on my PVR Project (minimum 10000 word technical manual and a user manual ain't fun!) and i keep referring to television shows as "TV Programs"...

    ... now, is it "TV Program" or "TV Programme"?

    I think i'm writing "Program" simply because i've been programming on computers too long so waiting to be corrected!

    And hell.. i'll put up a poll for good measures!

    Well, which is it...? 0 votes
