The problem

We seem to using the UK spelling of the word. One of them, at least (we could have gone all British and say parameterise)

Suggestions

It seems weird that we parameterize a parametric Role. But I don't think we have a policy on enforcing a certain kind of spelling here. Certainly parameterize is used consistently in the documentation now, with not a single instance of the other option. So we might just leave it as it is now, but with a test (or a rule) that it should remain so in the future.

Historically we have leaned to us spellings in general. There's an Xtra test that will let us catch this already. I can add this word, sign the ticket to me if you like

The spelling parameterize is used in the metamodel's method naming, and I doubt we'll be changing that, so it's probably best to stick with it in the docs also. That's what you get for having somebody British (increasingly ish... :)) design the MOP, I guess.
