Size is not a verb.


As said above, -ize is American, -ise is rest-of-English-speaking-World.




Criticise, sterilise, compartmentalise. etc

anncoates

Both are acceptable English usage.

One is an American convention and the other is British/rest of the world.

Jev/N

Oxford English spelling actually uses 'ize' and was used by the English long before the US even existed

Best. Response. Ever. Well done sir.

More pertinently, is this a load of bollox or a load of bollix?

I'd say "apologise" for instance, but I think the yanks have a better phonetic usage in this regard and I think "apologize" actually makes a lot more sense...
But then the English language likes to break the rules, doesn't she.
Whereas the French have an amazing simplistic language.

s'asseoir sur mon bite :pac:

It's generally assumed that -ize is is US English while -ise is UK English. However Oxford use -ize as was already mentioned, so technically either form is correct for UK English.

The US English version of Windows 8 uses "Minimize" and "Maximize" while the UK English version is "Minimise" and "Maximise"

In some older documents from before the spelling was formalised you can get both. It's the 'f' shaped 's' that always gets me.

They didn't mention verbs, not surprised you're lost if you went looking for them.

OK, my bad of course it's a verb...

But, although this really goes beyond my training as a furniture salesman, I don't think they are in the same category...

Size is the simplest form of that word... s- prefix without -ize is not a word!

All the others I mentioned are derived from nouns like "apology" or "sterile" etc etc and the ending is added to make it a verb...

To do the same with size you have to add an "S" e.g. sizes Crasp up.

so imo they are not the same, but I'm more than willing to be corrected and have my mind expanded!

(size might be irregular or some ****, I don't know...

What about practice vs. practise?

pickarooney

Practice is a noun while practise is a verb, in UK English

Yea I got caught out in class by it.. Were we supposed to write it like that in the leaving? Don't remember it.

In theory they are the same, but in practice they are different

FutureGuy

They might sound similar but have different meanings.

Ize (hard sounding) is water as it is turning to ice.
Ise (soft sounding) is ice as it is turning to water.

Came up in my Junior Cert.

People hate the idea but txt spk tends to be more consistent and phonetically correct. And dropping the unnecessary vowels (and using context to understand which words are which) makes writing quicker and easier to learn.


It's how written Arabic works and is far superior to the bloated English of today.
