Default Word UK English Dictionary

Could we have a version of the UK English Dictionary that gives the correct
preferred English spelling of words such as "realize", "finalize" etc. I
know I'm an old pedant, but I find it most annoying that the dictionary gives
the alternative secondary spelling of -ise as the only option. It seems to
think that -ize is an American spelling. I commend consulting the Concise
Oxford Dictionary to see that this interpretation is incorrect.
