Unstressed (though strong) edit
According to the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, "This suffix is unstressed (though strong) in Received Pronunciation and General American, but sometimes stressed in other varieties".
However I do not understand what unstressed (though strong) refers to --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:55, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Neologisms edit
Neologisms in -ize are generally to be discouraged, for they are usually ungainly and often superfluous. Hence we have no use for artificialize, audiblize, cubiclize, fenderize (= to fix a dented fender), funeralize, ghettoize, Mirandize, nakedize, obituarize, ✳operationalize, prioritize. --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:56, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
