In a life far, far away I worked with vaccinia virus, the name then used for the strain used to confer immunity against smallpox. When feeling pedantic, I chastise people who are talking about being vaccinated against covid19; "It is IMMUNISE"On May 14th 1796, today 225 years ago, English physician Edward Jenner (1749-1823) tried out a hypothesis, by inoculating 8 year old James Phipps with cowpox pus. The hypothesis was, that the cowpox, a relatively harmless disease for humans, would instigate immunity against the much more deadly smallpox. Follow-up, including inoculation with smallpox, proved that Phipps had really built up protected against the latter disease. The cowpox virus, Jenner used, is named Variolae vaccinae. Hence the word vaccination.
A technique, still used today, it seems.
Or, in the US, IMMUNIZE..."It is IMMUNISE"
Well now, and here I apologize to my fellow- Brits, but in fact the original English form since the 15th century, and that which is listed as correct in the OED, really is 'ize'. So the US spelling is, in factcorrect.Or, in the US, IMMUNIZE...
Yes, Oxford UP (Hart's Rules and Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors) favour -ize. However, there are several exceptions: words formed with -cise 'cutting' (excise, incise, circumcise etc), -mise 'send' etc. (premise, demise. surmise etc.), -prise 'taking' (prise open, apprise, comprise [n.b. comprises, or 'is composed of', never 'is comprised of'], enterprise, surprise etc.), -vise 'seeing' (advise, revise, devise, advertise, televise, improvise, supervise etc.), and others corresponding to nouns with -s- in the stem (arise, chastise, disguise, despise, enfranchise, compromise, merchandise (pronounced /s/, not /z/); and those ending -yse (analyse etc.) Cambridge UP (Butcher's Copy-Editing) follow whatever the author has supplied, except in the same range of compulsory -ise cases.Well now, and here I apologize to my fellow- Brits, but in fact the original English form since the 15th century, and that which is listed as correct in the OED, really is 'ize'.

'-ise' is imported from the French. Vive la France!
But there is a 'u' in colour, so don't get too cocky!

I remember it lost a few parts underway after the launch. The first crew (including veteran Pete Conrad) had to bring with a set of screwdrivers.don't remember the launch... only when it came down...
no, that was on the other side of the world in Australia ... it was just a big deal in the news back then so I actually remember it. Some time around then also a Soviet satellite with a nuclear power source on board de-orbited and crashed somewhere in Canada which was also a big news event...Hope that you weren't to close to the landing spot!
