Thanks for the explanation. I thought that might be the case but didn't
find any other usages of "serialise" so was not sure.

Either reads fine to me and the best rationale I can think of for going
with one spelling is to not have the same "fix" come up again.

If there is a desire to change this, attached is updated to include one

some similar ones I found in the past.
