Package: ibritish Version: 3.1.20.0-4 Severity: normal
ibritish has adopted the common misconception that every word in American with the -ize ending should be spelt with -ise (for example authorize). This is not the case. There are a few words for which it does apply (for example franchise) but mostly -ize is the correct suffix. See http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50122648 for the etymology.
