Ha, just came across that otherwise I would have asked you guys.This past week saw someone misspell the verb “cache” “cash” and thought “the misunderstanding is not limited to the orthography.”

I’ve also been saying “exercise regime” my entire life until about a year ago
― flamboyant goon tie included, Sunday, 14 July 2019 15:42 (five years ago) link
That one is correct.

Always think it makes sense by analogy with the French use of the word “régime” meaning, typically, “diet,” although obviously this kind of thinking can get you into trouble.

Oh weird? Ok so I’m not entirely stupid. Americans don’t say regime tho they say regimen and they thought I was stupid

"exercise regime"About 1,120,000 results (0.48 seconds)

"fitness regime"About 1,630,000 results (0.52 seconds)

And yeah, okay, some of these are UK/Australia/Canada but I am American and regime doesn't sound weird to me. Sounds like you fell into the not uncommon often infuriating trap of someone not as smart as you making you feel stupid.
― Ask Heavy Manners (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 14 July 2019 20:05 (five years ago) link
I'm equally comfortable with "regime" or "regimen". They both work.
