I saw gumtree in round 7, but it's
still not valid. In round 13, Susie offered paralyze, saying that it is not an American spelling. However, while -IZE is not an Americanism, I think -YZE is, and paralyze is certainly not valid on Apterous in any case.

Definition of paralyse in English:

Pronunciation: /ˈparəlʌɪz/
(paralyze US English)
So, yeah, no.

-YSE is also an Oxford spelling, as well as -IZE.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_spelling I confidently went for paralyze x, but forgot about the -yze Americanism. Easy to mix up. Now I shall note myself that -IZE(R), -ISE(R) and -YSE(R) and inflected forms are generally accepted (there are of course a few exemptions).
More solid numbers from Pouvanen, so finals and Octochampdom still on the cards.
