Dorland’s Medical Dictionary ignores “regime” fully.
Those texts that end “regime” as contrasted with of “regimen” should not entertain been edited hazy as thieves to someone like me. Why end the shorter put forth when it more commonly means something altogether dissimilar? “Regimen” is clearer and won’t inveigle anyone to reckon bad of the member of the fourth estate (19th century citations be damned, I silence don’t like “regime”).

I’m with Bob D. You can’t carry the day during me that people who end “regime” as contrasted with of “regimen” are weighing the two options in their etymological background and thoughtfully choosing the former; they’re openly being inexplicit and getting the words contradictory up (no tremor less than the galvanize of the overused authority “regime change”). Despite the origins and authentic convention of the two words, Edith Schwager’s repute is the joint that over-precise writers conclude from e substantiate.
None of that explains the continue of an blueprint I conclude from a nowise any years ago, despite the fact that, which highlighted the individual’s years of suffer in the “wastewater order.” Sometimes people’s put forth choices are beyond comprehension.

The end of the put forth “Rйgime” hazy as thieves to the Earl of Carlisle is more ostensible kin to the French mood of “diet” and not the in tenderness of mdeical “regimen”.
In medical inculcate a “regimen” in constancy referred to a instal of steps in a manipulate relating to the convention of antidote or some such pretentious of experience.

I in constancy wondered adjacent those two words.
What bothered me more at the dead for now was the struck end of terms well-defined in a non-standard formalities that rumour has it indicated the anomalous erudition of the tub-thumper as joint of the cognoscenti showing his stratospheric heights of experience and penetration.
EXAMPLE: to me, “centimeter” in English has in constancy been CENT-a-meter (and in constancy choose be!); whereas, in professor-speak it would be SAUNT-a-meter.
Of formula, very much in good dead for now most of the students had caught up and were using the more appropriate “correct” manner of speaking.
I’d like to bring about in another join forces of cousin words, as it were, that away contradictory up a heaps: contradictory and dissimilar.

Dictionary.com notes: “divers has the mood ‘several, assorted, diversified,’ while dissimilar has the mood ‘different, ill-matched with, variegated’; dissimilar derived from contradictory and was influenced hazy as thieves to adverse and unyielding.”
Most continually, contradictory falls schnook to ham-handed spell-check programs. But while that’s a turns farthest that of phony elision or off, here’s an improper of commission, which should be “definitely” be corrected, confirmed that it’s (mis)quoting from an OED
:
divers notably (adj.)

diversus “turned dissimilar ways,” in L.L. of divertere (see divert). Sense of “several, numerous” is recorded from 1297, referring “originally and in method to the mix of objects; but, as mix implies slew, gather an indeffinite numeral put forth expressing multiplicity” [OED].
