Kelly Says

Watching British English verb conjugations reveals how spelling conventions cascade through a word's entire family—harmonise, harmonised, harmonising all keep the -s-, while American harmonize, harmonized, harmonizing keep the -z-, making spelling a complete system rather than individual word choices.
