    I don't think I've heard either of those terms used. I've only heard the phrase "object oriented" used as both the subjunctive (present tense) and past indicative (talking about something in concrete rather than hypothetical past tense), in the context of a discrete approach to programming language design. i.e., people say both that "C# is an object-oriented language" and they talk about solutions that have been built with it as "having taken an object-oriented approach".

      I say "oriented" but only because I'm conscious of wanting to say "orientated" and thought that must be wrong.

      Americans write "Canceled" instead of "Cancelled" - something that's caught me out a few times of late.

        No. But I am starting to see how you manage to regularly fall out with your clients/colleagues and end up on here bleating about it afterwards. It's the subtle blend of unwarranted arrogance mixed with unwitting incompetence that does it.

            On the whole I'm not bad at spelling; but the one that always gets me is repetitative, or maybe it's repetitive.

            Seriously, I can never remember how many "tits" and "tats" there are in it

                Just successfully completed a project, been out for beers with the team and was given a bottle of laphroig as a leaving gift. Also got several pms that have hinted they want me back in the new year on their projects.
