-ise vs -ize spellings of villainise
villainise (with -ise spelling) doesn't appear in Google Ngrams for British English (2019) or American English (2019). However, villainise (with -ise spelling) DOES appear in Google Ngrams English (2019) at one-seventh or less frequency. Why "English (2019)" is not a summation of "British English (2019)" and "American English (2019)" I don't know. Australia/New Zealand? I feel stupid. I believe that does not disqualify me from recommending that this particular -ise spelling be labeled "nonstandard" or "misspelled". A simple Google search "villainize -villainise" versus "villainise -villainize" yields a 37.8 time predominance of the -ize spelling using the number of results found by Google. Others' opinions?
