The ize spelling is the sole spelling in american English and is also common in the British English.Realize is a regular verb and can be conjugated into various tenses by adding -d,-s and -ing.For example,in the meeting.I realized that i had forgotten to brush my teeth this morning.
Their is no difference they are just different spellings
The difference between American and British English. Other words are; Apologise and apologize
In US, the word realize is used but in UK, the word realise is used
Realize is often used and it means to know one's self about something. Realise is rarely used and has no meaning.
Realise is British. Realize is American.
Realize is the correct word.
"Realise" is a Non_Oxford British spelling of "Realize"
Hello, student! There's no difference in the meaning. Realise is used in British English, while Realize is used in American English. You can use either "realize" or "realise" since both have the same meaning.
'Realise' is the British spelling and 'Realize' is the American spelling. Just like organisation/organization.
Realise and realize are two different spellings of the same word if you're reading something that originates in the US you'll see realize and if you are reading something that originates in the UK you will see realize. Hope this was helpful!

They are both correct depending on what you are trying to say. I got confused is used when talking about one event in the past. E.g I got confused yesterday when I was accused me of stealing. I get confused is used when talking about one event that happens repeatedly or different events. E.g I get confused every time I am accused of stealing. I am confused is used when talking about an event that is happening now. E.g I am confused by the accusations of me stealing.

- What does "to honor someone's memory" mean?
Does "to honor someone's memory" mean something about death?

Hello Columbus, Thanks for your questions You are right when you think the sentence has something to do with death but only because of the word 'memory' rather than the word 'honour'. If you honour someone's memory it means you bring respect or distinction to someone is not in this world any longer. Nevertheless you can honour someone still alive because of many reasons. Ex: Will you honour us with your presence this evening? Notice that the verb is regular and also that you can write it 'honor' ,or 'honour'', both forms are correct. The 1st spelling is used US English and the 2nd in Br English. I hope it helps, Greetings
