How Do You Spell OPTIMIZE?

Pronunciation: [ˈɒptɪmˌa͡ɪz] (IPA)

The word "optimize" is spelled with a "z" instead of an "s" because it is derived from the root word "optimum," which also uses a "z". The spelling is also influenced by the phonetic transcription of the word, which uses the "z" sound /ˈɒptɪmaɪz/ in the second syllable. This spelling difference between American and British English, which uses a "s" in words like "optimise", can cause confusion for some, but it is a minor difference that should not affect the meaning of the word.
