British -ize spelling
Nicholas Cole
long time using another editor on the Mac). Since I last used vim
properly, native spelling checking seems to have been added (a very
welcome addition - the days of fighting with plug-ins are over!).
Is there a dictionary available that gives the British spelling but
with the -ize variants? en_gb isn't right for me, since I'm using Vim
to write documents for publishers that require the 'academic'
spellings.
Alternatively, is there a way to make MacVim work with cocoapell,
which is what I use to get around this problem in other places...
Best wishes and happy New Year to one and all,

As far as I know, the en_gb dictionary allows the -ize spelling, and I
use it as my default language. If, in addition, you want to mark the
-ise spelling as an error, you may try the en_ca dictionary. The
variants are all in the English dictionary shipped with Vim (at least
this is the case on Windows).

Alternatively, it's not that hard to make your own spell file. I
created my own British spell file by editing the MySpell ones and
removing all the references to -ize (as I wanted the more commonly
used in England -ise spellings but not the -ize ones). It was very
straightforward, the instructions are here:
