The english word "Initialize d" exists. (Cambridge dictionary finds it).
The word "Uninitiali zed" doesn't seem to exist, and no dictionary
has it. I am using that word very often in my tutorial of the C language
with
"uninitiali zed memory".
Word flags this as a spelling error and tells me that the correct spelling
is
"uninitiali sed" with s
and NOT
"uninitiali zed" with z.
Can anyone here tell me what word should be used in correct english?
Thanks in advance

I'll think you find that those songs were written by people who weren't native St. Louisans and quite possibly had never been there. They also had other considerations, like how the song sounded.
The "St. Looey" pronounciation was certainly not prevalent around 1945, otherwise there'd be a significant number of people still using that. It is the tendency in St. Louis to completely squash all French pronounciations . The street name Gravois is not Grav-WAH, it is GRAV-oi or GRAV-ois. My town of Florissant is FLOOR-uh-sant. Bellefontaine is BELL-fountain.
And (at least some decades ago) Creve Coeur was "creeve core".
But Des Peres was "day pear", about as close to correct French as you
can get with a Midwestern accent. And Laclede, of course, is pretty
much the same either way.
But I've never found anything elsewhere to match the seemingly
gloriously redundant naming of Olive Street Road Boulevard.
The likelyhood of "St. Looie" being prevalent anytime recently is pretty slim. It's one of those outsider things, like Frisco.

I usually hear "Duh Peer". Of course, the river is frequently (jokingly)
called the River Despair.

Olive Street Road was the road that took you to Olive Street.

Canadian hegemony. :-) (and then we have to worry about Quebec).
They will just go on spelling it "obtenir."

Well, I've seen native English-speakers routinely write "wierd", so
"acheive" doesn't surprise me. I know I'm supposed to pick at people's
English skills, but the German skills of native English speakers often
annoy me. It's as if they knew when to write "ei" and when to write
"ie", then do it the exact opposite way.
Correct spellings of German words:
Words with "ie": Friede, Liebe, Dieb, Dienst, riechen (to smell),
mies, viel, Wien (the capital of Austria)
Words with "ei": mein, heil, Sonnschein, Teil, Ei, weiss, reichen (to
be enough), einfach, drei, Wein (wine)

Do you realise that you get annoyed far too easily and by far too
insignificant things? And, at the same time, you don't seem to care
enough for the things that really matter.
A perfectly phrased and spelled, but incorrect sentence is far more
annoying than a badly spelled and phrased, but correct one.

Damn that's good. If I was running a .sig I'd swipe, but I'm not so I

The first is usually due to the misapplication of, "I before E except
after C and when sounding as A as in neighbor and weigh." As "weird"
doesn't fit that rule (along with a raft of others) it can cause
confusion.
The word "achieve" doesn't cause such problems, and is more rarely seen
misspleled (sic). It's more likely a typo in this case.
