"practise" is the English spelling, where David is located. Practice, is the US spelling.
Personally, the more I teach my kids, the more I think English is a huge mess.
Practice is a noun.
Practise is the spelling of the associated verb. Compare with 'advice' and 'advise'.
That's UK English, by the way. No idea about US English.

Heh... people who speak US English have no idea either. 😛

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
