mg, I for one love pedantic correctors! (I live with one... hehehe) So, thanks for the corrections on the first three words (what is your definitive source?). However: ...practise is the verb and practice is the nounYou're joking in the spirit of the board, right?

Anna my Strophe - My source is the poem as it is published in The Nation's Favourite Poems (published by the BBC and with a fwd by Griff Rhys Jones) - and that, of course, uses "practise" - because the speaker in the poem is suggesting the verb, not the noun. No, I ain't jokin'. See the thread in info about 100 most-often misspelled ww....!

Faldage, it looks to me like a simple case of one lady asking for a source, and the other providing it.
