Trying to edit this thing into American English. Searching my 'ise' endings now. Americans, do you write 'valorize'? Doesn't look right.

I want to save the overworked editor a job. He already has to read my 4000 words on postmodernism & that's fairly heroic.

Ooh, will we get to read it too?

Oh no. We do different things with double or single 'l's and I can't remember what. OK, that's it. I'm done. I tried. Points for effort.

Yes, to a certain extent but I don't want to pretend to be American. The magazine just standardiZes spelling.
