I’m not going to tolerate another day of some of you red blooded “Mericans” butchering the proper English spelling of this dynamic word. It’s spelled with an “S”, now take your crude “c” and shove it up your “S”. And bring us the practiSe updates here.... por favor.

Edit: Interview Clips start showing up on Page 9 if you want to skip to it.

You are wrong! The "s" is used with the verb, and the "c" with the noun. The noun is "practiCe". The verb is "practiSe" These are the facts!
The noun practice
As a noun, practice means a “habit or custom” (as in a religious practice).
It can also mean “repeated exercise to acquire a skill” (e.g., practice makes perfect), or “the pursuit of a profession” (e.g., she just retired from her medical practice).
This noun sense of practice is used by both British and American English.
The verb practice/practise
In American English, practice is also used as the verb. It means “to do something repeatedly in order to master it” or “to pursue as an occupation or art.” So a churchgoer can practice their religion, just as a student might practice the violin.
In British English, the verb form of the word is rendered as practise. So in the above examples, our churchgoer practises their religion, while our student practices their instrument. This convention is true of British, Canadian, and Australian English.

Mexicans and Mexican Americans are the center of attention right now. A white nationalist terrorist killed 7 Mexican citizens along with 15 US citizens in El Paso. No, JonJon the hangings in Mexico and the Terrorist act in El Paso are no related, but the violence and rhetoric is making things worse for them and all Americans in general.
