"American English is a rationalised improvement on British English"
Line 69: Line 69:     
Conservatives trying to teach about dinosaurs! This is like a construction company trying to build a modern building with a primitive hammer and wooden rivets, consulting from architectural plans interpreted through Aramaic, Greek, Latin and then English of whose origins you do not know and whose different pages contradict themselves. Personally I would much rather trust information that was obtained using only the soundest of scientific methods that was many times over peer reviewed and tested many times over accounting for as many variables as possible. Don't trust this method? You already do when you fly in a plane or drive your car (thermodynamics, aerodynamics, chemistry, metallurgy, physics, etc.) For peer reviewed information go back to school or consult wikepedia. For amusement, browse your heart away here!

In English, "practise" is a verb and "practice" is a noun.
 +
 +
In the American dialect "practice" is used for both.
 +
 +
In English, "license" is a verb and "licence" is a noun.
 +
 +
Americans use "license" for both.
 +
 +
So much for "a rationalised improvement on British English".
