Do you mean that you, an American, pronounce realize as "reel - - - ice" .. ... and not as "reel - - - - eyes"?

Well, actually it's more like whenever I see the American spelling, I read it as "real-lyezz" (or something like that...I can never spell what I'm trying to pronounciate). When I say it aloud, I can't hear the "z," so it just looks misplaced to me.
Anyways, my spelling isn't always consistent one way or another (just in case you guys start reading my posts extra carefully from now on
). Being around the Downs so much, I guess I start seeing certain words spelled one way and I after a while, I start spelling them that way myself out of habit...
