I make no comment about our client, CFOA.  I am sure others will judge them.

Idol, the OED rules used to be that if a word had a Greek route you could ONLY use the z form for ize.  However, no one learns Greek any more, so they relaxed the rule a bit and changed it to one along the lines that, where there is a choice, the Z form is the OED preferred, but the ise is a second form of spelling.  The entire guide is written with the ize form, as OED is our own preferred style, though we do let the team ise ise if they really want to.  However , for formal published work such as this we stick to OED.

Colin, unfortunately my version of the final published work does not appear to stick to the OED.    #justsaying

Idol,  See comment in post directly before your post.

Colin,

This is what happens when enforcers assume control of the standards and guidance to which they enforce; power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Nah, it is not a conspiracy theory to which you need to look.  Absolutely poor English educational standards corrupt the English language. U No wot aye meen?

Yes Colin, I do know what you mean, but perhaps it is just that the English language is merely continuing to evolve as it has done since ye olde times.

[colin todd]

is evolve a synonym for go downhill?

Its amost an anagram for Love. We need love in the forum and some flowers to shove down the barrels of Nth Korean rifles.

My old mum used to say that what small people lack in height they make up for in impertinence.

That can't be right Mr Todd, no disrespect to your dear mother, but any photos I have seen of you present you as quite tall!
