Random Burglar Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 do I note a touch of incredulity in ones demeanour? I believe you honestly...
Cat Burger Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 I got 10 because I remember getting the defuse one wrong last time.
Libertine Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 I'm brilliant at spelling, but I only got 7.
Janx Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 Im sure... Being a professor of English helps! Which I am not, but I am old enough to be your Dad, so dont be cheeky!
The People's Hero Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 I got 10. Having said that, I'm pretty anal about that sort of thing.

Head Honcho Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 9/10 I need to practise more or is it practice
The People's Hero Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 That was the one which had me thinking. Guessed at it in the end.
Head Honcho Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 That was the one which had me thinking. Guessed at it in the end. I didn't even think about it I thought practise was the American spelling of practice-learn something new everyday
Rincewind Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 9/10. I got the practice/practise one wrong. I tried not to cheat by looking at a previous post about it. Thought the rest were fairly easy.
Collymore Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 I can't even spell my own name so I'm not gonna even try
Head Honcho Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 Seeing as most of us got this one wrong: A Practice refers to a way that something is done. Practice is also something that is done with the deliberate aim of learning. Most commonly, practice is the act of repeating something over and over for the purpose of learning and gaining experience, as in the phrase "practice makes perfect". Playing a musical instrument well takes great practice, for example. In British English, the verb form of this is "to practise". The noun form everywhere, and the verb form in American English is always spelled "practice". I'm still not sure if I get it
The People's Hero Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 As you correctly identified the verb to practise, is spelt with an s. (I practise, you practise, he/she practises etc) Whilst practice as a noun ie it's good practice, i do a lot of practice (spelt with a c)
