"your point of reference is too limited."
You're right.
"An algorithm is a way of doing something. {an idea}"
I agree with the first part, but not the part in the brackets.
"A routine is a repeatable process/procedure. Housework is very routine."
Okay.
"A process, in many circles, represents a well-defined and carefully documented list of repeatable steps to a very specific goal."
You're absolutely right. I wasn't thinking correctly. "Process" can mean two very different things, even in the narrow realm of software engineering.
"There's my 2 cents. May I have some change back? "
Sorry, I might need it for bus fare later.
