quicko: practice makes perfect

Australians are weird about practice.  They spell it alternate ways.  Practise when it's a noun; practice when it's a verb.  Or maybe it's the other way round.  I really don't know.  I can't keep track.  50-50 says I'm right.

Your blog is fantastic! I love it. You're so funny.
Practise is the verb, practice the noun. sorry!

Think of it this way "c" comes before "s" in the alphabet just like "n" for noun comes before "v" for verb. This rule works for other ice/ise endings too.

Eventually you'll figure it out; practice makes perfect. Or is that practise?

Practise is the verb and practice is the noun....yes, it's highly confusing especially when using microsoft office who insists that you've got it wrong!
