Truth be told I am very confused about which way I should spell it, in the proper British way.
Read in a dictionary that you use practise with verbs, and Practice as a noun, and Americans use practice as both the verb and the noun; but i thought it was the other way round...😕:'(

I was taught in school that 'practise' is a verb but 'practice' is a noun. However, my Firefox underlines 'practise' as incorrectly spelled. That spelling program is very picky, it underlines it's own name if it's 'firefox', not 'Firefox'.

One way I heard to remember it is; "to advise" (practise) is the verb, and "advice" (practice) is the noun. I guess it only works if you find the first two words easier to remember...

Well, in America I think we use practice for both the noun and verb. I think that we are just pretty self-centered and that we cannot conform to neither the metric system nor spellings that make sense! I would much rather use practise as the verb. Really and truly, how much more sense does it make? (ALOT)
