Sanitization is an americanism. Like so many words that end in sation or such. They use z, we use s. although now that I look at it I'm wondering if someone just made it up...

Sorry, I sometimes forget that you Europeans have no set spelling rules and can change z's to s's and are allowed to put a u in a word wherever you please.
And no, I'm not an American. I'm a permanent resident of America, but according to my passport I'm a Belgian citizen and that's where both of my parents are from. I don't really feel any sort of alliance to any country though, if a World War broke out I'd probably just enlist with the PLA (China's army) because they have about as many soldiers as most nations have citizens. |

Change that to the Americans Can't remember the original Spellings and so they take out a u in words or change s's to z's because they can't handle it.

Foreign languages are banned on the forums...
Apologies, Languages other than English are Banned on the forums, otherwise I would be sorely tempted to write in Irish from time to time just to confuse everyone

When I was on holiday in Acapulco...many years ago. An American girl asked me what the Queens English was.
So I told her that the Queen used to make up a new word every month and announce it to the nation live on T.V. and that's how the Queens English got it's name. |
