Mothering Sunday
[edit]Like you, I prefer baptise to baptize. So I've left it as is. But I've just double-checked in my Oxford Spelling Dictionary, and they actually prefer -ize. (Their house style is to use -ize whenever there's a choice, which seems to depend on whether the word is derived from Greek or not.) So baptize isn't strictly wrong for British English, and an editor at the OUP would probably choose it. I just thought I'd alert you to this. Musiconeologist (talk) 18:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- The scripts I downloaded have a choice of Oxford and Commonwealth, I maintained EngVarB (commonwealth) with prefers -ise. Having -ize clashes with the variety the page is tagged as being written in. Red Jay (talk) 19:58, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Just reading up on the variants now. I took the B to indicate BrE, which I see it doesn't. Musiconeologist (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- No worries. Red Jay (talk) 20:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Spelling out numbers
[edit]No worries at all, I learned the same rule you did, although the MOS guidance also makes sense to me. I’m completely neutral as to whether spelling out all of them would look better. I do think having "4" and "2" as numerals in a text sentence seems a little weird, but then I also feel like "twelve" is for the same reason. I guess it’s a question of which one is "less bad," perhaps! 1995hoo (talk) 18:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
