Can anybody correct this essay, please?

eagertolearn,

American and British spellings often differ. The British spellings tend to use "s" and American "z".

You will find several words that follow this pattern, though I cannot direct you to a list. There might be one on the Internet. Native English speakers have no trouble either version. You should, however, try to be consistent. Organize verus organise etc.

I hope this helps.

Julielai,

It seemed to be a backhanded compliment to me. One of the challenges of communicating is how the other person interprets the messages. It would have been better if a "moderator" or "native English speaking" person were to provide an answer. Also, you'll note that I have never claimed to be an expert. As I have stated previously, I am just an average Joe.

I am not interested in debating this this point either about what was or was not intended. I will nip the conversation in the bud if that happens. Translation: I will delete the message.

Nona the brit, Mr Pedantic et al., are all capable of addressing the question that was posed. Again, your participation and help is appreciated.
