Talk:chastise

Pronunciation
Hello,

The article about "chastise" lacks information about pronounciation (i.e. phonetics and a recorded sample of the word)! Thank you

 * I added some IPA. In the future, you may wish to consider adding (request for pronunciation) or  (request for audio pronunciation) to the entry. What this does is it puts the entry in a category, where it can easily be managed, whereas talk pages sometimes go for a long time without anybody looking at them (I only caught this one because I saw its creation on Special:RecentChanges). —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 16:56, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Spelling
Can this word also be spelt "chastize" with a 'z' especially in the US? Ferike333 07:50, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes chastize and chastise are alternative spellings but I don't know which is consider more Queen's English and which is considered more American English &mdash; Roguebfl (talk) 22:06, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Chastise is standard in the US- it doesn't seem to be part of the (US) -ize / (UK) -ise alternation. Advertise is another such case. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It ought to be labelled as archaic (as used by Spenser and Malthus) in the UK, but it appears occasionally in American writing. I'll add a note.    D b f  i  r  s   21:37, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
