So Americans use Z’s because of nineteenth century dictionaries, while British people use S’s because they’re asserting their national identity.
Is British English Z or S?
British English only replaces the ‘z’ with ‘s’ in verbs ending with ‘-ize’, unless Oxford spelling is used, because it was influenced by the French verb ending -iser, whereas American English was influenced by the Latin verb ending -izare, itself derived from the Greek verb ending -ίζειν -ízein.
