That's how you spell it over here, where the language you claim to speak was invented - and where all the history comes from Wink

It's not how I spell it over here! Very Happy Perhaps we should make a new topic called "taking the mick" so that people are clear when it is being taken! Very Happy

You cannot possibly try to convince me that "moisturize" was a word invented in England. It has "Madison Avenue" written all over it.

Sorry for the threadjack! I'll be good now! Promise!

 		Actually, the suffix comes from the greek "izare", and so technically "ize" is the original, and it is we english who are spelling it incorrectly.

EDIT: also worth noting that it was only recently that the Oxford English Dictionary started listing -ise as an acceptable variant.

Painful to admit but technically true that several American spellings are closer to the original root word. That doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you for such atrocities as Infommercial, Banoffee and Alphabetize.

Madison Avenue? That couldn't possibly be written over the word moisturize - it has far too many letters in it!

I forgot that -ize was the original english. I blame it all on the Romans.

 		Romanes Eunt Domus!

They've bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers.

And what have they ever given us in return?

Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
