char1ie Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Practice and Licence vs Practise and License is about noun vs verb. I mentioned abseil earlier. I just heard someone say it here. It is abSEIL not abSAIL. You do not sail down the side of a cliff. (from the German: abseilen, to rope down).Charlie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1726-here-here/page/2/#findComment-48282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peckhamboy Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Could be either when someone asks you to "bare me in mind" though... :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1726-here-here/page/2/#findComment-48285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incitatus Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I stand corrected, however I was tempted to proffer a QWERTY excuse. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1726-here-here/page/2/#findComment-50874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I wasn't having a go at anyone in particular (just about the sixth time this week I have seen it...)My other half has been known to do the same thing, but I take my life in my hands offering correction to her.
