[Corpora-List] American and British English spelling converter

[Martin Wynne]

If you find such a program, let us know, and we can run it over the BNC 
and change the 5849 occurrences of 'realize' and inflected forms to 
'realise' etc., and otherwise correct British English to your preferred 
spellings ;)
