The -ise suffix is more commonly used by British speakers and all +other forms such as en_DK, en_IE, en_IN, etc are symbolic links to +en_GB-ise. +2. the en_GB-ize/en_GB-oxendict which uses the -ize suffix is known +as Oxford English Dictionary Spelling and is generally favored for +academic, formal, and technical writing. -- cgit v1.2.3
