Exactly. And at the risk of belaboring the obvious, "criticize" is the American spelling.
Or, shall I say,
belabouring the obvious?
Which reminds me. A few years ago I wrote an article for a Canadian magazine. I asked the editor, should I try to write it in "Canadian-ese?" Meaning, things like labour, colour, flavour, criticise, etc.?
She said no, Americans just get it all wrong anyhow. Their editors would fix it right up for me, and she appreciated that at least I knew the difference.
