I'm English by birth, spelling words with 'ize' and 'ise' as an ending is generally considered neither here nor there. It's perfectly acceptable to spell analyse the way I do - as long as I keep to the form of ise/yse, that is.
I'm assuming you're American? In which case, I'd understand why you'd have an issue with it being spelt analyse - sometimes grammar isn't black and white, there's colour [sic] too.
