    British: Practise is the verb and practice is the noun.

    American: Practice is both!

    EDIT: Leb Bebe, we in Canada use the British spelling. Some may not, but the proper way in Canada is to use the British spellings.

    I used to practise but now I practice because the stupid American spell checker keeps telling me the first one is wrong ...

    British English practise is the verb and practice is the noun.

    Also practise is considered American and practice is considered British.

    british english .. practice is noun and practise is verb

    american english ...practice is noun and verb

    To practice!!

  • For me its -Practice-, it depends on where you live.

    American & sometimes Canadian used word:

    Neighbor, favor, favorite

    British & Aussie & sometimes Canadian used word:

    Neighbour, favour, favourite

    Canada is kind of split, some Canadians use the British way of spelling and some use the American way.

    Technically either spelling is correct.
