Entirely off topic, I know, but the title is one of the few words Canadian English spells uniquely.
'Colourize'.
In British English: Colourise. American: Colorize.
And we're very upset that spell checkers make us choose between only American and British options.
- rswail 6y agoAs an Aussie, I'm over it. OED says that -ize is equally "correct" to -ise. Australian spelling guidance has dropped the U in "color", "honor" etc. I keep the "e" in axe, I spell metric measures (and centre and theatre) with "-re" I still differentiate between advise and advice, practise and practice, defense and defence. And I'd spell "check" as "cheque" except no-one outside the US still uses those. /s

- mabbo 6y agoWait, are you saying that Australian English uses 'Colorise'?
