 * The -ize/-ise, -izer/-iser, and -ization/-isation differences only apply to words where the ending is not part of the root. Some words always end in -ise in all varieties of English. These are: advertise, advise, apprise, arise, chastise, circumcise, comprise, compromise, demise, despise, devise, disguise, enterprise, excise, exercise, franchise, guise, improvise, incise, merchandise, mortise, premise, reprise, revise, supervise, surmise, surprise, televise, as well as all words ending in -wise.

 * Check what you type: e.g. the verb to pron''ou''nce is always spelled with ''ou'', but the noun pron''u''nciation is spelled with only ''u''.
 * If unsure about the correct spelling, consult a dictionary, e.g. https://www.lexico.com/
+* Oxford spelling is used by many international organizations (e.g. ISO, NATO, UN, WTO, WWF) and some academic publications (notably Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press, whilst the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge use British spelling).
