In commenting on a post by T. Hawkes, Mike Jensen remarked:

Point taken.

BTW, isn't "civilised" a preferred spelling in Britain?

I want to clean up a mess I made.  It was pointed out to me that in
England _civilized_ has a legitimate alternate spelling with the _s_
replacing the _z_.

In my response to Terry Hawkes message, I quoted his post including the
word _civilised_.  I hadn't noticed Terry's spelling until my spell
checker caught it.  I then wrote a note expressing my own trouble with
typos, and said the spelling of _civilised_ was not mine.

In light of that off list response, I want to apologize to Mr. Hawkes.
Though my intention really wasn't to chide him for spelling, it may have
had that result.  The mistake was mine, not his.

I did intend to chide him for his implication about the New Globe
Theater, however.  Those comments stand.
