3 en_CA should accept "ise" spellings - ID: 1834893

Orig: [ 1178662 ] en_CA should accept "ise" spellings
URL: http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1178662
From: Martin Pitt - mpitt

In Canada, both "realise" and "realize" are accepted spellings. This
applies to *many* other -ise words. Among the people I know, the-ise
variants are even prefered (but this might be a local thing).

When I set the language to Canadian English, many applications (e. g.
evolution) tell me that "realise" and friends) are incorrectly spelled.

In my 35 years living in Canada I've yet to come across anyone who uses
these British spellings (aside from a few Anglophiles being purposely
contrary!)

The reason I was looking at bugs was to point out that "practise" is in
the en_CA dictionaries but not "practice" which is the far more common
spelling.
