At Georgia Tech up until 2000 or so.
In the class it was often referred to as psudocode, but unlike psudocode in examples in random books/specs, it had a real syntax and you had to put everything you would in a real language or you'd get points off.
It was a great way to learn programming (and teach it too).
*(To disambiguate for the left cost people, GT isn't like ITT, it's of quality closer to Caltech, but much cheaper. Best salary for the tuition school in the nation apparently today)
