Which would be best for general purpose use in Sigil?

I will have a look at the Google file and report back what I find.
As for the -ise vs -ize debate I have always used -ise. This probably because (being nearly 72) that is the way I was taught.
Saying that I do understand that -ize is slowly creeping into common usage. This probably due to the fact that youngsters here in the UK nowadays are subjected to far more American content than my generation was at that age.
That is one thing I noted about the LibreOffice UK dictionary, there appeared to be both versions included.
Personally I would prefer Sigil to stick with the -ise convention, but I would understand if others would prefer to have both s and z.
