    Hi,

    Not sure if this is the correct forum (modorators please move if necessary)...

    Just wondering how you spell organise?

    In Ireland its spelt organise, am I correct in thinking that only the Yanks spell it organize?

    :confused::confused::confused:


    Thanks

    Organise ... no ifs, buts, dashes, commas or anything else.

    Never really thought about it. It's 'organise' I suppoze.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    The correct spelling is 'Google it'.

    Organize = American English

    The spell checker on macs says "organize" and the like. It's all part of their conspiracy to make all the world adopt american spellings.

    I wouldn't worry about it, I don't think there is a "Google for dummies" forum yet.

    Problems with copyright and so on.
