The English language is a living language which evolves.
If it didn't evolve we would still be writing and speaking like Shakespeare."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Many verbs that end in -ize can also end in -ise in British English. For example, in British English, all of the following spellings are acceptable: finalize/finalise; organize/organise; realize/realise. In American English, the only correct spellings are finalize, organize, and realize.Comment
