Key Insights

There is a suffix that is written only as -ize in American English and often -ise in British English (but not always, as ShreevatsaR points out in the comments). This suffix attaches to a large number of words, thus the s/z alternation shows up in a large number of words. Citizen does not have the -ize/-ise suffix. The North Reading Senior Center offers a variety of services and programs which aim to support, educate and involve North Reading Citizens 60 and over. The menu of programs and resources vary month-to-month.

Final Thoughts

Citizens Petitions Upon the timely filing of a petition signed by at least ten registered voters of the Town and certified by the Board of Registrars, the Select Board shall insert into the warrant any article requested of them in writing. Is there a word for people who are citizens, residents, non-citizens, non-residents, undocumented immigrants, etc., in the English language? In other words, is there an inclusive word for this sort of thing?
