@futzle Looking up 'Oxford Spelling' now, this is more complicated than I thought.

From wikipedia

"In both the King James Bible and the works of Shakespeare, -ize endings are used throughout. Well-known literary works that use Oxford spelling include The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis."

given how often autofail likes to "fix" things when I hit send, I accept any vaguely recognizable spelling

@Dread Pirate (Tom) Roberts I don't know about Australia, but z is a much more metal letter than s, so Oxford Spelling is to be preferred

Ideally, of course, it should be written moderniz̈ed

I prefer to use Traditional English rather than Simplified English. Made for interesting times when coauthoring with US colleagues. Fortunately the requirement to use A4 was in the customer's requirements.
