www.m-w.com does indeed have a listing for 'recognise' and notes
that it is a variant of 'recognize'.  Appending a 'd' to the end
of both words is valid and denotes past tense.

As we have gone over many, many times in the past, we recognise
no preference in British vs American spellings in our source tree
and man pages.
