I was noticing when reading the new statement on the front page, that Yami spelled "capitalize" when shouldn't it be "Capitalise"? Of course it is "Capitalize" if the word is Americanised ((Yes! "Americanised" NOT "Americanized".)) True more than 3/4's of Gaians are American, but that isn't any reason to use the Americanised version of a word... Is it?

Sorry if this sounds whiney... I was just making a point.

Both are correct.
If you like English so much, deal with its ambiguity.

I used the American spelling because I'm an American.

Yeah well. I would have guessed that. It's just that only one country in one hundred and fifty six or so uses that spelling. I guess it doesn't matter. I'm just weird.
