‘Recognize’ *is* actually a British form. It's commonly thought to be an Americanism, but it isn't one.

Interesting.
However, that's a novelty account that specifically takes Americanisms and posts the British version.
"Unrecognised" is not used in America, it's exclusive to British English, so correcting it to a form that's prevalent in America and not here seems completely against the point of the bot, even if it's "technically acceptable" over here.
