:I'll admit to the spelling error I did but as for program vs programme in 'Olde England,' as you put it, where a [[Terry Pratchett|certain someone]] is from, program is used primarily for computer programs, whereas programme is the more general usage, such as for pamphlets/booklets i.e. 'Discworld Convention Programme.' --[[User:Jagra|Jagra]] 19:42, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

It's not actually a problem since you seem to have created the page (although the history doesn't say so, strangely) but "program" is acceptable in both the OED and Dictionary.com. If "programme" were in the title of a booklet it would be necessary, of course. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 01:48, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Erm...yes. One might wish you were more obsessed with filing and organisation. I doubt that many of us have thought of role-playing games as books, or songs as short stories (see other examples of games and songs). It rather defeats the purpose of categories and namespaces. Please look around and try to get a feel for what goes where. --Old Dickens (talk) 22:59, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

I moved the anthem back, however the Gurps books are just that, no board, no pieces. If you disagree with me, fine, but try asking me next time. --Jagra 15:01, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Olde English Spelynge

Um, that's not grammar, it's spelling, and there's nothing wrong with "program". --Old Dickens (talk) 17:23, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

I'll admit to the spelling error I did but as for program vs programme in 'Olde England,' as you put it, where a certain someone is from, program is used primarily for computer programs, whereas programme is the more general usage, such as for pamphlets/booklets i.e. 'Discworld Convention Programme.' --Jagra 19:42, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
