I will issue another @ draft after we conclude the discussion of draft 09. @ @ Erik @ Let's just stay with the British 'realise' and 'authorise', @ as we've been back and forth with this a few times. [211 significant lines deleted] to digress a bit ... Perhaps you do not realize how we spell `authorize' over here (see, for example, `"-ize" vs "-ise"' in http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/faq/archive/alt-usage-english-faq.html)? ;-) There are, however, ~30 common verbs which `we' spell -ise. Oxford Univ. Press, for one, prefers (legal) `ize' endings. I would have thought that the N.American or `Oxford'-style spelling would be most favoured by the readership, i.e. most transparent and thus enabling one to get to the information rather than using their time analySing the literary style. -- --Charles Curran, Oxford University Computing Services
