 * I wish the page that I am amending to revert to the British English spelling of fuse as the article pertains to a British English invention and as such it is only correct that the correct version of fuse be used. 2.30.242.33 (talk) 19:33, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * While I'm sure you believe that to be true, what certainly is true is that if you were to look at anything of an authoritative nature, such as the Royal Laboratory's fuze diagrams, or any of the editions of "Treatise on Ammunition", or in the case of the Bombard "Small Arms Training Volume 1, Pamphlet Number 23 The 29-mm. Spigot Mortar" as on pg.7 "Fuzing. Explain that the fuze used with this bomb is the 283 Mk.1" and pg. 10 "the fuze used with the 14-lb bomb is the 152 fuze, as used with the 3-in. mortar", it should become clear that the correct spelling for the device, in both British english and other variations, is "fuze".

 * And I quote
 * "The UK Ministry of Defence states (emphasis in original): Fuse: Cord or tube for the transmission of flame or explosion usually consisting of cord or rope with gunpowder or high explosive spun into it. (The spelling fuze may also be met for this term, but fuse is the preferred spelling in this context.)" 2.30.242.33 (talk) 06:16, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The above quotation from Wikipedia itself... 2.30.242.33 (talk) 06:18, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * However neither the No. 283 nor the No. 152 are "cord or rope with gunpowder or high explosive spun into it", but they are in accordance with the second MOD definition "A device with explosive components designed to initiate a main charge." they are complicated mechanical devices, not burning bits of string, so the "z" variant is still correct according to the UK MOD statement.
