Verbs ending in -'ize' or '-ise'

                  In Britain, some verbs end in either -ize or -ise.  Both are used.                   In America, they always end in -ize.

                     examples :              apologise/apologize                                                    organise/organize                                                    realise/realize

Regular - Irregular forms     Some verbs have alternative regular and irregular past tense and past participle forms, for example : dream - dreamed or dreamt. In Britain, the irregular form is more often used, whereas in American English, there is a preference for the regular form.

                  Here are some of those verbs :

                                           dream       dreamed/dreamt                                            learn         learned/learnt                                            spell         spelled/spelt

spoil         spoiled/spoilt              and also:                                            dive - dived - dived (GB)                                               dive -  dove - dived (US only)

The Pronoun  'one'

 Americans do not often use 'one' to mean "people in general" nor do they use 'one's' or 'oneself'.

                   GB :     One should look after one's health.                    US :     You should look after your health.                                People should look after their health.
