Hi everyone,
I am writing my first essay and I am wondering if I could use words like memorize, summarize or realize using -ze at the end.
I know that in UK it should be memorise, summarise and realise, but some UK dictionaries I have, and even dictionaries online, spell the words with -ze. Even word office 'tells' me that summarising is a mistake in English (United Kingdom) language and it should be summarizing.
I guess it changes from word to word, doesn't it?
I am a bit confused. What should I do?
