Usage notes

  • When regime is used in the sense of a form or instance of government or state, it is usually meant as a pejorative, and may be intended to brand that government or state as illegitimate or authoritarian. Some usage commentators prescribe that when regime is used in the sense of "a regulated system; a regimen," such as for health or fitness regimens, the word regimen should be used instead. But Garner's Modern English Usage, fourth edition, says that the word regime predominates in that sense in British English and that the word regimen predominates in that sense in American English; this difference suggests that that prescription has been taken up more in America than in Britain.
