PUNCTUATION If possible, a dictionary of English should describe the differences in punctuation between AE and BE (in usage notes at the entries for the names of the marks or in an appendix). Punctuational differences between AE and BE are not striking, but can at times lead to a misunderstanding or lack of comprehension. Some symbols are used exclusively, or almost exclusively, by only one of the two varieties. Thus the symbol # for 'number', common in AE, is unknown in BE, where #24 would have to be rendered as No.

The suffix -er or -ers is used to form BE slang synonyms of certain com mon words; rugger 'rugby', champers /'sampәz/ 'champagne', preggers 'preg nant', etc. Soccer was formed in this manner from As(soc)iation football, but is now stylistically neutral. BE has various suffixed attributives whereas CE and AE forms have no suffixes: CE CE AE AE a ten-room house sparkplug rowboat sailboat BE BE BE BE a ten-roomed house sparking plug rowing boat sailing boat 28 LEXICOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF ENGLISH Note that both department office and departmental office are CE.

Note: In printed BE, the choice of ise or ize is often a matter of the pub lisher's official 'house style'; ize appears to be gaining ground. Modern British dictionaries now give most of these verbs (in which the ize, ise is clearly a verbal suffix) with both spellings; the ize spelling is given first by Oxford and Collins; ise is given first by GID and by Chambers. 4 Examples are: agonize, finalize, recognize, standardize, temporize, vandalize, etc.
