S/Z

Comparing interests, interesting comparison

Drawn from Microsoft Office thesaurus

ORGANIsATIONORGANIzATION
system of government
government
administration
civil service
officialdom
establishment
association
group
club
society
institute
union
party
business


Variant spelling leads to adjacent semantic space.

And a quick peek at Roget's International Thesaurus Third Edition which has the one spelling:

organization

composition
arrangement
classification
establishment
structure
organism
association
sect

S and Z

What is amazing is the lack of over-lap in these words and worlds apart in what some version of Microsoft Word produced as a thesaurus search:

Organisation - with an "s"

system of government
government
administration
civil service
officialdom
establishment



Organization - with a "z"

association
group
club
institute
union
party
business
I suspect that two different thesauri are behind these results. Results also vary depending upon which version of the word-processing software is used.
