What a word to pick! As it happens, it isn't an Americanism. Both forms are allowed in British English (some British sources even prefer the "ize" ending). I can support that, having been taught to use 'ize' spelling in the Australian colony. I switch from one to the other but prefer 'ise' these days lest someone think I'm a Yank. I don't support Phoenetic spelling either, for one good reason, Accents. A North London educated person would be incapable of conducting written communication with a South Londoner! As for the Scots who refuse to use vowels at all... The Southern New Zealanders, decended from the Scots, have learned to use vowels but insert odd ones at random. The American who thinks an Aussie is an orsy and don't get me started on my own lingo maaaayt. G'Day Cheers ozylynx ![]() |

It's not true. As I couched my question in a manner seeking clarity and I am reasonably sure my forgotten source would have been reasonably authoritative, else I would have persued the matter further at the time. I reluctantly request that your source/s for this statment be cited. I will then be able to speak with authority on this matter in future. Cheers. ozylynx ![]() |

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_dialect_and_accent
----------------------------------------"In the West Riding, all cases of the past tense of to be is were: "I were wearing t'red coat, but he were wearing t'green one". Amongst younger speakers this may be pronounced "woh" or "wuh". The East Riding does the opposite and makes all cases into was." see ah telled thee am a grammatical challenged Northerner I'm from the West Riding (which became West Yorshire in the mid 70's) ![]() |
