Our generated misspelling index lists 18 likely wrong-spelling variants for programmation, with forms such as "porgrammation", "pprogrammation", and "prgorammation". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is programmation, spelled P-R-O-G-R-A-M-M-A-T-I-O-N.
