If you mean "specialized", that's correct in British English, although "specialised" is also possible. If you mean "english", that's incorrect both in American and British English.

Pray tell the difference.

As some of the writers are dead, how do we distinguish this skalersheep from hissterry?

I'm an assistant urologist.

Or maybe I'm just taking the piss.
I called up a urologist on the phone the other day.

He asked me, "Can you hold?"

What do I do for a living
I make people's dream come true.

I just move from one country to the other, then meet people and ask them: "do you need any help?"

Usually they say yes, so I just stay there and help them to grow their project, but mainly make sure that they keep dreaming to beautiful things and that they don't forget that anything can be achieved, that no dream is too big or too silly.

When I am done, I just move to another country, meet people and ask them: "do you need any help?"

I work for a British University whose house style is '..ized' which causes constant irritation amongst the resident academia.
Part of what I do involves encouraging the use of house style...
