Subject: Initialise

Hi all,

Being English and able to spell proper like, innit, I find I'm creating a lot of stupid errors by writing `def initialise` a lot. I had the bright idea of making an alias to stop this transatlantic turmoil, but I've no idea where to put it. Everything I've looked up boils down to "don't worry, initialize is sort of magic behind the scenes, just call new..." 

I tried this:

class Object
  alias :initialise :initialize
end


but it didn't work. Is this possible, or do I have to start writing like the lead singer from Radiohead sings?

Regards,
Iain
