Bug#564523: lintian: spelling check: alternate forms of 'parametrize'

[Jonathan Yu <jawnsy@cpan.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.1
Severity: wishlist


Oxford English Dictionary uses 'parametrize' as the correct form. Indeed,
lintian currently suggests this form with the error:

  I: libmouse-perl: spelling-error-in-manpage
  usr/share/man/man3/Mouse::Util::TypeConstraints.3pm.gz
  parameterize parametrize

There are currently only 486,000 hits on Google for "parameterize", which
has always been the way I've become accustomed to spelling the word.

The Free Dictionary has this definition:
  pa·ram·e·ter·ize  (p-rm-t-rz) also pa·ram·e·trize (--trz)
  tr.v. pa·ram·e·ter·ized also pa·ram·e·trized, pa·ram·e·ter·iz·ing also
  pa·ram·e·triz·ing, pa·ram·e·ter·iz·es also pa·ram·e·triz·es

  To describe in terms of parameters.

Wiktionary also states that this is the "dominant modern spelling" in the
United States. It also specifies the following alternative forms:
  * parameterise (UK)
  * parametrize
  * parametrise (UK)

Please consider inclusion of these alternate spellings as "accepted" forms
of the word.
