I'd figure you'd likely get fewer answers, but perhaps more focussed answers out of the process. I'Ve seen some questions I can't even understand, because the questioner's grasp of English is too poor to allow them to write the question clearly. Doing it in their mother tongue seems like a better approach, to me. Moi, je parle fran硩s et je pourrai r鰯ndre ࠤes questions en fran硩s. You can ask questions in certain other languages. The languages currently offered are Spanish, Tagalog, and Portugese. The topic for these languages are found under the Language main topic, World Languages subtopic. More information:

The reason you can't post questions in other languages besides English, Spanish, Tagalog, and Portuguese, is that the special letters and accent marks of many foreign languages do not presently show up correctly on this site. The team is working on making it possible to type in other languages on WikiAnswers in the future.

Which is the correct spelling fertilize or fertilise?

In "American English", which we prefer to use on WikiAnswers, the proper spelling is "Fertilize". However, in the UK and other places where "British English" is spoken, then the spelling is "Fertilise". So, in effect, both are correct depending on which form of the English language is the local standard.
