    i just have to get this out of my system...
    so no colours today...

    i still feel lame for obsessing over this question for so god damn long but...

    -ize and -ise spellings....one is British and the other is American

    my lecturer asked us one fine day..."What's the difference between the British English and American English?"

    I remembered that -ize IS British and -ise is American...but I was told otherwise
    so being the lameee over-obsessive-about-the-validity-of-stuff person that I lamely am
    I just haaaad to do some research on this...

    turns out~~~ -ize IS British...but so is -ise
    -ize is mainly used by the Oxford English Dictionary...
    which explains why amlost everything there is -ize
    they use -ize because of the original Greek usage of -izo...
    Cambridge, however, uses -ise all the time

    -ize is also used in the Webster dictionary (it's American) so some people may think that the use of -ize is actually American...

    if we use -ize in spelling..it isn't wrong but we have to be careful as some words do not end with -ize but with -ise... eg. Comprise, Enterprise....

    BUT~ if we standardize the usage to -ise...it's easier because you don't have to think whether it's right or wrong...it's always right!!


    huhu~~ i still like -ize better though...yessss. I'm that old-fashioned!


    exam tomorrow...cross my fingers!
