Arnii, I apologize because my Krooglish decoder failed
to map "liberate" onto a corresponding human word.
Try using a standard English dictionary, Middiot.
And this from the man who persistently writes
"condensor" microphone:-)
It's a common usage, Iain.
Here's a news flash for you that you obviously need. Spellings of common
words can change when you cross national and/or cultural boundaries.
Maybe Iain would prefer.......
capaciter
transister
resister
too ?

Not at all, the versions as given in the Oxford
English Dictionary are fine.
I live in Scandinavia. Most people here are fluent in three
languages and have a better command of English than
Arny seems to have:-(
A Swedish pal of mine was working for an audio company
in the US for a couple of years. When an important letter had
to be written, the boss's secretary asked my pal to do it. He
was the only one who could write correct formal English.
I have been asked by Scandinavians on many occasions,
"Why are the native English speakers so intent on the rape
of their own language?"
