(English teacher head on)Originally Posted by snookersfun
Practice is a funny word snookersfun:
The verb to practice/practise can be spelt with either a c or an s
The noun practice is always spelt with a c
The plural of practice in this sense is also practice (ie no s) although practices could probably just about be accepted.

Originally Posted by davis_greatestLooks good to me! snookersfun, please explain, and then have the imaginary point! well, every word in that sentence finishes with the letter that the word in front of it starts with. Plus it looks rather symmetric to have a 'couple of each', so while 'help' was a first answer the couple of words looks rather superior.
