Talk:Colorization

Actually, the Oxford dictionaries prefer the spelling "colorization", in line with both their preference for "ize" (which has never been uniquely American, contrary to popular belief, including among some Brits) and the principle that a "u" tends to be dropped before a Latinate suffix (cf "humorous", where dropping the "u" is mandatory). "Colourize" is an acceptable alternative (as is, though not always explicitly, "colourise"), but "colorize" is the British spelling preferred by Oxford dictionaries in the UK.
