Regime vs. Regimen
Regime and regimen are two words writers often confuse.
Regimen would be use to refer to a scheduled activity, like exercise. "She followed her weight-lifting regimen almost religiously."
Regime, on the other hand, refers to governments or periods of rule. "Stalin's regime was one of totalitarianism."
When in doubt, look it up!

I thought I had it right, but wanted to confirm. Taking the time to look things up is the difference between good writing and bad!

I thought this too, and have corrected others on it. Today I was shocked to see on MerriamWebster's site that they say it is acceptable to interchange them in the meaning of "regimen."
