Sorry, the command is either not recognised or an error occured during its processing. If the message was not supposed to be a command, please type a double '//' at its beginning.

The english word is supposed to be recognized.

If not then why would it be spelt Recognize

And this online dictionary seems to think otherwise.

Recongise is the British English way to spell it.  Recognize is American English.

Same with categorise, categorize, etc, etc

Both spellings are acceptable in British English too :o)
