   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in netmail to Ardith Hinton:   
      
    AH>  although "program" is probably the spelling most often used   
    AH>  in the US, the "-mme" spelling may also be used.  :-)   
      
    DM>  I say offten   
    DM>  programm   
      
    DM>  And in Vancouver too?   
    DM>  :-)   
      
      
              If you're referring to the pronunciation, yes.   
      
              In Canada the "t" in "often" may or may not be said aloud, but   
   "program(me)" is pronounced the same way regardless of its spelling.  ;-)   
      
      
    BTW...   
      
              Happy Feast of the Theophany... or Epiphany, depending on what   
   calendar you're using.  My household calendar includes both... [chuckle].
