2 --ise o -ize?-
Nota d'usoI verbi che finiscono in - ize si possono quasi sempre scrivere anche con la desinenza - ise: criticize/criticise; realize/realise; recognize/recognise; organize/organise; ecc. Nell'inglese britannico si preferisce - ise, mentre nell'inglese americano e internazionale si usa quasi esclusivamente - ize. A prescindere dal modo in cui si scrivono questi verbi e i loro derivati (- ization, - izable, - izing), è essenziale essere coerenti e usare una sola grafia all'interno di uno scritto. Ci sono tuttavia delle eccezioni. To capsize è l'unico verbo, oltre a quelli monosillabici, che termina esclusivamente in - ize; cioè che non si può mai scrivere con - ise. Inoltre, ci sono diversi verbi in - ise che non si possono scrivere in - ize; i più comuni sono to advertise, to advise, to chastise, to circumcise, to comprise, to compromise, to despise, to devise, to enfranchise, to excise, to exercise, to franchise, to improvise, to merchandise, to supervise, to surmise, to surprise e to televise.
