    You're spelling ionization wrong.

    's' in between two vowels is a 'z' i have always been spelling things like that industrialisation, personalisation and all the "sations" i thought they were all British english

    They might be but I speak and write American English. Using a Z is the correct spelling for us. Since I live in the USA, Google directs me to sites using American English.

    I do not know if both are right since I do not find ionisation in the dictionary. akaQA is not calling it wrong, I am and my name is Colleen, not akaQA.
