Appeal to the flist

Sometime in the history of this journal (3½ years!), one of my lovely friends commented with a link to a page explaining the "ise"/"ize" difference, which is not a US/UK difference, as you might think it would be.

Alas, the Ginny! is not as careful with these pretties as she ought to be, and has lost it. :/ I could go back and find it, but that would take a big ol' long time. Time that I could be knitting or drinking tea or …

So, anyone have a handy link on this? It's for my Ysa, although I'll certainly be happy to have it again—I promise to take better care of it this time.

[edit: Okay, a quick Google search reveals an excess of links. O_o So far, many of them are saying it's a US/UK thing, the US going with the Latin root, "ize", the UK influenced by the French, "ise". You know where my preference is going to be—sentimentality over tradition! *nodnod* (Also, it's easier to hit the S key than the Z key.) So, I guess this request is narrowed to a particular link (why, yes, needle, haystack, GO!). I'll give you a cookie.]

[edit 2: Or from the Greek? Confused now. Hello, can of worms, please all return to your place in an orderly manner.]

[edit 3: Hello, Serendipity, my old friend, good to see you again. abagond = SMART! Although as always, I find something I disagree with on the first page. *sigh* It's not easy being so opinionated. ^_~]

Dear me:

You should know better than to knit for over an hour with this job of yours. (Also, extra stupid points for doing it in a not-quite-cold-but-not-entirely-comfortable room.)

Nolove,
your sore tendons

Now that Kokumono's been licensed, I'm wondering if I even want to keep watching S2. I'm still very angry/disappointed/upset/??? with Shuurei about the Watashi-sama thing. I do know that there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying that arc of the release (even if it is full of Ensei!). That's saying a lot, for a completist like me.

In other news, Liar Game continues to entertain me. The pacing's a little melodramatic. Yes, we're supposed to feel the tension, but please, can we get on with this?!

m'kay, nitey-nite world. I'm off to lie in a position that will hopefully entice sleep to visit me. (If that doesn't work, there's the bedside lamp and a book.) Maybe I'll wash the dishes first? Depends on how much they bug me, but probably not.
