Lunchtime observation -- Apologise?

Interesting that a self-described "62-year-old straight woman in rural Pennsylvania" would spell apologize with an "s", in the traditional high English way.

Almost as interesting as the fact she would describe her husband as "a (very straight) husband."

Not having spent much time in rural Pennsylvania myself, perhaps it rings truer to the ear in that region, where country folk talk and spell that way. (?)

Here in rural Wisconsin though, even our most illiterate spellers -- in the most loveless marriages -- don't tend to sound much like that...

Who writes this stuff, anyway?
