Unrelated to the meme, . . . The Brits generally use -ise where the Americans use -ize, but I have long wondered why Americans still use āadvertiseā.
From the Wikipedia article on conservative commentator Steven Crowder:
āChange My Mindā is an Internet meme that originated from a photograph of Crowder seated behind a sign that reads āMale Privilege is a Myth / Change My Mind.ā
400 years ago, people used the symbol ājā instead of āIā So, I guess the comic strip would like to be able to drop a letter, āsā. Sure, instead of snake, it would be znake. But how would you pronounce it? Instead of Steve, it would be Zteve. Much like Iesus became Jesus. But thatās ok isnāt it? After all, didnāt Shakespeare say that a Rose by any other name is still a rose? (Would that now be a Roze by any other name)?
The spelling āsurprizeā is used, deliberately, in the novel JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL. Author Susanna Clarke used certain, isolated but specific alternate spellings to take the story out of our current time, and emulate early 19th century novels. Spelling was less fixed then, and some words were spelled differently depending on who was writing. In extreme cases, they might be different depending on what paragraph or sentence the writer was working on, and what spelling occurred to them at that moment.

In that case you would write in English, not in American. That would make thing easier for me.
