Most common spelling mistake / typo ??

Analyze?? Excuse me, what? This would be a word which has its roots in analysis? Analyse is the correct spelling.

no its not. sound the word out. an s has a completely different sound than z does.

:nono: You're wrong, my friend, and you completely missed the point. It's got nothing to do with whether it sounds like a z or not, it's about where the word comes from. If something is ANALYSED then an ANALYST performs an ANALYSIS. It is taken from the Greek analuse

Following your rule, if it was correct to spell analyze like so, then it would be derived from analyziz and analuze. But thanks, you've just proved my point that you make it up as you go along, with no thought as to etymological rules, just because you think it looks better with a z in it. If it was just about how it sounded then it'd be spelled "loze" instead of "lose", wouldn't it? Give me strength. :rolleyes:
