My ispell suggests "standardise" for "standardize". Anyway, for me (a non native English speeker), the more helpful thing is to standardise which word to use (e.g. remove/delete, replace/substitute, accept/permit/allow, preserve/retain, put/set/store, property/attribute, vector/array, go-to/move-to, cancel/undo, etc.) :-p --- Kenichi Handa handa@ni.aist.go.jp
