I have occasionally switched to US English but this is not quite right.
You might try Canadian English. It mostly uses -ize, but still retains -our in colour, honour, et cetera. There remain a few things that are more American than British (such as tire and aluminum), but it is probably a lot closer to what you are looking for.
- vr46 6y agoNeato. I actually tried Australian English for a while, but let me do the switcheroo to Canadian and see.
- ferzul 6y agoAustralian would have been counterproductive, as there was a time when it could be said Australia uses -ise; Britain prefers -ize and America use -ize. Nowadays I have no idea if there'r any distiction - maybe just permitting one to spell “program” correctly? Before computer dictionaries one Australian newspaper used “color, -ise” as its spelling which I find preferable.
