Characterisation or characterization?

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Characterisation or characterization?

Post by LauraLambton »

As an English teacher, I know that either spelling is correct. What are your thoughts on this? Is it preference that sends you one way or the other or do you believe there is only one correct way?

Characterisation is British while characterization is American. So, it depends on your target audience.
