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.

If you go through its post history you'll see that it has corrected ‘-ise’ spellings used in the Commonwealth. It should really be called /u/Spell-Things-The-Way-I-Spell-Them.
