What's the difference between 程 and 程度?
ほど is usually used as particle, whereas 程度 is a noun, e.g.

> B _ほど_ Aの **程度** は大きくない。  
>  A's **degree** is not _as_ high _as_ B's.

[ほど](http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch/0/0ss/118151200000/) can be used as noun,
but I would say
[程度](http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&stype=0&dtype=0&dname=0ss&p=%E7%A8%8B%E5%BA%A6)
is more common. The dictionary definitions show that the meaning is not that
different (e.g. 大辞泉 has 許容される限度。 for 程度; 大辞林 has 許される程度。限度。 for ほど).
