Default Brittish/American spelling

I have a couple of questions concerning Brittish vs American spelling;

summarize or summarise: is the -is-form the correct Brittish spelling, or does it matter?

vulcanization or vulcanisation (or maybe curing?): which is the correct Brittish spelling? (it is a term within rubber manufacturing)

Your help is appreciated!

Ankawik,

American spelling would be 'vulcanization', 'summarize', and 'sulphur'.

Cheers,
Amigo
