    I've seen a ton of posts concerning a particular boxer training regimen referred to as regime. Yep, it may be picky but if you're going to post it, post it correctly.

    Then again, this is how it's said in the US, not sure about the other parts of the world, especially the UK where we seem to be separated by a common language.

    Regimen or Regime it's the same thing, you can use either.

    Sorry, no internet dictionaries. It's a regimen. Anyone who uses regime is a ***git and a fascist.

    My initial point exactly. As you read #4 the last 2 words make it clear-----a regimen.

    Hey, if some of you folks want to call it a regime, do so. It just sounds------ to borrow the words of KillSomething---------, ***gity and fascist.

    Be quiet you prat, it's perfectly acceptable to use the word regime in this way.
