Or "centre", "theatre" and "cheque". Also, we get to use both Zs and Ss in words like "realised".

Ah, Canadian laziness.

I've always been told to use Z's. Even more so when writing academic papers. Plus I don't like the way the words look when spelled with an S...

Paedantic Basterd 05-22-2011 08:42 PM

Hm. Maybe I picked up the Ss from the Aussies. I tend to agree that I like the look of the Z better though.

Anyone ever try to phonetically spell a U, then pause in indecision?

So U is the spelling of U!
So simple it's evasive!

We might as well rename this thread and reopen it.
