Oh please
It was a throw-away line. And I spelled civilized correctly.

Oh dear god.
Curiosity is a bad bad thing.

Not as bad as that though. I don't know what I expected.

well, I'm shocked and appalled by that
so much for the OED being the standard.

Bizarrely the OED favours the 'z' spelling on a number of words
They're on their own though - other such as Collins favour an 's'.

As do I.

that is very odd indeed
I honestly had no idea that the OED favoured the -ize spelling.

It's shocking, but for once I agree with the French. -ise is the way to go

*whipes knows with finger twice, a cross between a scratch and a whipe*
Listen, yeah', mate, know what I mean? Innit, yeah', it was all of 'em. It was OK in the 50s and 60s, didn't like it, but there was a war on, things 'ad to 'appen. Besides, if they didn't eat, they'd starve, ain't the case like that now, know what I mean? Fuckin' 8 bedroom houses on Bishop's Ave, fuckin' Merc and a lovely tidy some each week. Yet me, my brother, he put into the system day in and day out all his life. Can he get a one bed? Bollocks to it, I'm faakin' off outta 'ere, ain't no room at the inn, close the boarders and fuck off musti-fucking-ha. Don't get me wrong, they'd be mugs not to take it, but we're mugs not to give it.

Fuck off, this is the greatest country on the planet, by quite a shot, dispite all thats wrong.
