Useful information, although
By the way, just one thing on American spelling. A quote from “Plain Words”, by Sir Ernest Gowers, published by HMSO.
On the Question of whether words like Organise or Organisation should be spelt with an s or a z, authorities differ. There are some words (e.g Advertise, comprise, despise, advise, exercise and surmise) which are never spelled with a z. There are others (such as Organize) for which the spelling with z is the only American form , and is also a very common British one. This being so the British writer has the advantage over the American in that we may, if we wish, use an s all the time, for that will never be wrong, whereas a Z sometimes will be. But do not condemn those who use z in it’s right place.
I tend to use z because I learnt years ago that Organize was correct, and Organise was a Victorian affectation
