When I type 'organization' in a Word document and the language is set to UK 
English (English) rather than US English (American) the spell checker doesn't 
recognise that it's spelt wrong.  Is this normal or can I change the 
behaviour?

I'd say it's normal. From what I've read in this group over the years, 
apparently this is an "accepted" (if not the preferred) spelling in UK English.

If you want to have it flagged, you can add it to an EXC file (Exclude 
dictionary). You should find instructions in Help and/or on word.mvps.org The 
exact steps (where you need to save it) are very much Word-version dependent 
(which you don't mention...)

Re: English

I thought it was odd, it recognises 'color' is wrong but not that 'realize' 
is wrong.  English is becoming swamped by American.  I shall look up this EXC 
file you mention, that sounds like what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

Re: English

The -ize ending is perfectly good (British) English and arguably more
correct than -ise given the (Greek) derivation of most of the affected
words. The only 'rule' I would wish to see applied is one of consistency -
do not mix and match -ize and -ise in a single document.

Re: English

That's American, not English.  People can't speak English these days - it 
doesn't mean I should join in.

Re: English

Hi Frank,

FWIW, from the Oxford Dictionary folks  :)
  "Are spellings like 'privatize' and 'organize' Americanisms?"

Re: English

Be careful!  In many respects, American English has reetained the more
characteristic "English" features, while British English has become
corrupt by influence of nonstandard dialects and foreign influence.
