4. Trivia

4.1. Etymology?

When I searched down the google and read documents, I realized there are two way to write the term: Virtualization and Virtualisation.

Because this difference comes from the difference of British English and American English.

I already know there are difference of British English and American, the terms practice and practise, for example. but when I read an article full of Virtuali-sation, maybe written by who usually use British English, as a non-native English speaker for the first time, I was so interested by that differences.

  • Virtualisation: British English

  • Virtualization: American English

  • practice: American English

  • practise: British English
