hmmm. i _should_ spell it 'program' here, but old
habits die hard . . .

i do write 'disk' tho, altho i much prefer 'disc'

generally i'm an -ise britisher, but i dislike using
|ae| and |oe| for greek |ai| and |oi|, so i reduce
them to e

estrogen
encylcopedia
esthetics

proper nouns :
Oidipous
Aischylos

latin words :
fetus ( the o is an imposter )
formulae
foetid

i also, as people may have noticed, abbreviate 'i
would' to 'i'ld' rather than 'i'd'

anyway, back to 'program' . . . it just looks WRONG !
