Subject: Re: spelling of -ise words



Unless I've fallen into a time warp Americans spell virtually all words like

organize, realize with -ize, while in the UK it's -ise. The main exception

which comes to mind is advertise, but Webster's Third allows -ize here too,

though AH2, unfortunately, does not. What is Canadian practice ?
