Since my last firefox add-on update, my spellchecker refuses to recognise the word 'recognise' and insists that it should be spelled 'recognize'.

Ditto for 'organize', 'commercialize', and pretty much anything else that ends 'ise'.

I've double checked my spelling add-on, I've definitely got the English UK one, not the English US one. I re-installed it, juts to make sure.

Grrrr.

"-ize" is actually a kosher UK spelling; we have the luxury of choice, and both are listed as correct in the OED, I think. (although yes, I much, MUCH prefer the relatively elegant-seeming "-ise")
