PractiSe # 12

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.

You really took him serious?
