We're all friends here...

Realization: U.S. English.
Realisation: U.K. English.

Some U.S. spellings are actually old English spellings, and the language
separated over time.

So the correct spelling depends on the country you're in. Typically, if
you see "z" being used for "s" in words, it's American.

www.onelook.com can be very useful for this kind of thing, btw...

ps. They just started showing the American version of Touching Evil
here... my god... finally, an American port of a British show that
doesn't *suck*.
