I have recently been introduced to Book Depository. I find the free delivery thing rather odd. Particularly as they sent the two items that arrived today as separate packages.
But anyway, one of the items I ordered was a new paperback bible - an English Standard Version (ESV - aka Eastern Suburbs Version) in fact. My old one is missing some books and all of the concordance after N. When I examined it I noticed that it says "Anglicized Version" on the front. I am fairly sure that the anglicised version of anglicize is anglicise.
I tested this theory using Dr Google: when I typed in anglicise, there was no highlighted definition link, and 44K results; whereas anglicize has a definition link but only 33K results.
All a bit strange really. Perhaps it's nothing to do with spelling but has Jesus drinking tea and saying "Tally ho old chaps!" or something...
