ISO, the standards body, has an English hybrid that they require. Its based primarily on British English, but with many exceptions.

From https://www.iso.org/ISO-house-style.html

ISO documents use Oxford English spelling, which is British spelling in combination with the suffix ‑ize (rather than ‑ise) for about 200 verbs that generally originate from the Greek -izo suffix, e.g. organize, standardize. For other words, use an “s”, e.g. analyse, paralyse. In case of doubt, follow the spelling of the Oxford English Dictionary.

The website has some spelling rules along with some examples. Would it be possible to add support for the ISO House Style of English?
