Explaining your acronyms is rather like explaining a joke, and it does tendto underestimate the intelligence of other forum members. Oh, and by the way, the apostrophe was unnecessary.

I have to be really careful with my punctuation. I get Denise to beta read all my stories as I am rubbish - even though I teach English!
I wonder if, in the world of UFO set in 2020, (new film era) there will finally be one language ( English!)and either more logical spelling, or phonetic spelling.  
That would have been an interesting development that the ANdersons never explored... Oh yes. and on Moonbase, why was the sign for Russian meals not written in Russian?

Actually I have all three, although the 'pet' mink is dead and is actually three stitched together -complete with heads and feet and tails. ... and I'm catching up on posts now.. isn't it 'programs' for computers?
That was one thing that the Andersons got right though in UFO..you didn't see many people wearing fur! Smoking like chimneys, but no fur coats! Although someone is going to prove me wrong now.
And Natalie...fics??? writer? Info please!!

I think it is "programme" for telly and computers in the UK, isn't it?  You live there, so I suppose you'd know better than I.  When you go to a football game there, what do they call the booklets they sell telling about the team(s)?

Hmm. Programmes for TV. Programs for computers.
Football booklets..'waste of money' (programmes actually)
That's one of the annoying things about English, it can't make up its (no apostrophe) mind.

Small world.  Football programs...uh...programmes, are a waste of money here in the US too.
I think American is somewhat easier to learn than English.  Here they are programs in all instances.  : )

It's "TV programme", but "Computer program". In the latter case we have
adopted the US English spelling.

Fair enough.  : )
