Australian English edit

The standard Australian English spelling is now "program" according to both most common use and modern Australian dictionaries. This is not an issue of "British" or "American" forms of English. There are many instances in which standard Australian English now differs from British English and this is one of them. This article gives information about this. Yahboo (talk) 14:37, 21 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your information. Apparently it is more appropriate to use the spelling "programme" as the blog post states that:

"Usage: Until recently, programme was widely considered to be the British spelling, and program the American. There are those who like to retain the former spelling, particularly in relation to a list of items at a concert, theatrical performance, etc., but many people have adopted the spelling program in all cases."

As there is a list of television programmes on the Wikipedia page and the blog post recognises personal preferences instead of rigid rules of the spelling for "programme", then the original spelling should remain on the Wikipedia page.

My view is that "programme" is the original English spelling used in Australia as "gaol" is the original spelling now Americanised to "jail". Read through Australian newspapers and magazines prior to the 1980s and you will notice virtually zero American spelling. Sadly, spellcheck is now often used to edit Australian works and that software is American and uses American spelling by default. This same software does not change the "z" to the letter "s" in words like "recognise" or "publicise" and omits the letter "u" in words like "colour" and "favour" and omits double consonants like in "travelling". As most people, even journalists, are too lazy or time poor to properly edit or correct their own work, so American spelling often gets published. I think there is a British English setting on spellcheck but most Australians don't use it. I feel that too much of Australia's cultural distinctions to differentiate Australia from other countries have been Americanised over the past few decades that Australians eat, wear, read, watch, buy and consume a huge amount of American culture. One saving grace is the English language where Australians can still speak and spell in the original English language and often more eloquently and accurately than Americans. I don't hate America or Americans as I love American films and television series and books. I just think the original spelling of English language words are often the better option.
