Congrats,

By way of celebration, a nearly useless piece of information...

Look up -ise in the Oxford English Dictionary and you'll be referred to -ize.

Way off topic

There's an interesting discussion of ize vs ise in Wikipedia. Nowhere near as simple as you might think, particularly the Oxford and Cambridge University Press policies and the ratio of the two uses in UK and Australia/New Zealand.

Apart from one "Initialize" ... there was also a "Waalking Trail"

I've sent the corrections of to Shirli and asked them to sort the Bronze/Silver/Gold issue too. :D

Can you also ask shirli to fix the pronunciation of:

Tidworth - being pronounced as Pethworth (yes, seriously)
Idmiston - being pronounced as Ithmiston

..and the continued lack of expanding 'E' and 'W' to 'East' and 'West' (and probably other abbreviations).
