Right Englishuser; the same goes for realize and realise!Yes, we could even go as far as to say this is true for all -ise/ize words with just a few exceptions such as plagiarise. Regular Member 717 What a difference an ocean can make!  Anonymous: It's not "Football"!Football is the sports with strong men and, well, footballs. Soccer is "Fussball" or "Foodbal" in english, closer to the german word! Many, many years ago, 'realise' and 'apologise' were the BrE versions.. Nowadays, 'realize' and 'apolozise' are also BrE.
