Hi,

The Online Merriam-Webster dictionary (m-w.com) doesn't have an entry for
the word 'recognised', yet it features throughout our source tree
(Including manpages).

The following was run on CURRENT as of a few hours ago:

bling# grep -R recognised /usr/src/ | wc -l
     155
bling# grep -R recognized /usr/src/ | wc -l
    1898

This isn't a color/colour type of thing...

www.m-w.com does indeed have a listing for 'recognise' and notes that it is a variant of 'recognize'. Appending a 'd' to the end of both words is valid and denotes past tense.

As we have gone over many, many times in the past, we recognise
no preference in British vs American spellings in our source tree
and man pages.
