Dictionary.com recognises neither.

This has come up several times before so I thought it might be time to
finally dig to the bottom of the pile and end it forever.

I put on my library hat and went for a dig: the verb is in fact "to
journalize", which according to the OED means

"enter (notes or information) in a journal"

Journal itself is strictly a noun. Thus in English it would be correct
for a file system to have a journal (from the latin diurnalis if anyone
cares) but it would appear that it is a journalizing file system.

The American dictionaries appear to agree with this viewpoint.

If we regard "journalizing" as incorrect then the natural way to end the
word would be -lled for British English and -led would certainly sound
and feel wrong. Indeed the search for the OED turns journalled into
journal when guessing near words but refuses to consider journaled. Our
existing policy is not to mess with US v UK v AU v CA v .. spelling
and that is probably wise.

A search of the ACM literature finds "journalized", "journalled" and
"journaled" are all in use for this operation.

I would submit the correct patch is to change the words to journalizing
and journalized. That would put Linux in agreement with the dictionary,
avoid US v UK meaning differences and not pose a problem linguistically
as all forms are currently in use.

I hate to get into these discussions, but I've used "journaled" a lot,
so I feel I should chime in.

Maybe it's different in the UK, but I've always understood that if the
accent is not on the last syllable, then you do not double the final
vowel: offer, offered. So if we accept the use of "journal" as a verb,
"journaled" would be correct.

Since it's not a real word, I'd be happy not to make a big deal out of
it and accept either, so I think we're in agreement.

That would probably be more correct, but the use of "journal" as a verb
has really gotten ingrained in file system developers brains. I
personally haven't heard or used "journalized" and it would take some
getting used to.

Shaggy

P.S. Evolution's spell-checker doesn't like "journalize" either, but I
trust that it's correct.

I noticed and IBM cannot even agree internally 8)

"Tivoli Storage Manager Journal Based Backup troubleshooting techniques
and solutions to common problems seen with journalized backups and the
journal database. This is from a 2005_November_07 Support Technical
Exchange Web seminar presented by TSM Support staff"

"IBM Journaled File System (JFS)"

Mandrake use Journalized File System in various press articles. Mac
people seem to like journalized too and google shows it used in various
reviews and articles.

I think I'm going to follow this up with the professional bodies and see
if there is an opinion because either the computing world needs to agree
on a proper English name, or they need to agree on a new one and talk to
the dictionary people about it.

IBM's big. What can I say? :-)

I guess it's more common that I thought.

If there's some kind of consensus, I don't have strong feelings either
way.

BCS: "BCS use the OED as the final arbiter, without the zeds though...so
journalise is what we'd use if we absolutely had to."

I don't know if anyone has the right ACM contacts to find out what the
other big professional body thinks ?

Then again, I would consider journalize to be the US version of journalise

So I have been taught as well. Merriam-Webster says:

The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling
suggestion below or try again using the search bar above.
Suggestions for journalled:
1. journalese 2. journalized
3. journalize 4. journals
5. journalizer 6. journeyed
7. journal 8. journal box
9. Journalist 10. julienned
11. junketed 12. generally
13. generals 14. journaleses
15. Journalism 16. General
17. gillnetted 18. gingered
19. journalizes 20. gendered

I'd suggest using neither M-W or OED as sole references and accept
spellings from both. Past experience has shown me that this is one
area where there will *never* be consensus.

google.cz gives like 250k vs 519k, interesting. Anyway, I'm happy to
leave the decision on the proper spelling of the verb to people with better
English skills ;).
