Talk:Weaponize

British or North American
The rise of the internet and search engines has increased the spread of "americanisations" of the spelling of certain English language words. The British spelling using an "s" is actually the original and is also pronounced differently to the American version with a "z" - use your ears and/or check your pronunciation! The use of z in place of s in words is part of a drift towards cultural laziness. I don't think this is up for debate as it is factual. Try practising the "s" and "z" with your tongue and you will find they require different positions which can be slurred over in lazy speech. Hence the adoption of "z". 2A02:C7C:E0AC:3200:E817:291C:47BE:457D (talk) 11:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
