Practise and practice

While I am writing articles, I am confused while placing these two words. :huh:
According to me, 'practice' is noun and 'practise' is verb.

But my Microsoft word shows errors and if they are used interchanged, it is not showing errors.
I or Microsoft word, who is correct?

MS Word! {CJATTACHMENT ["id": 6339]}

I agree that 'practise' is verb and 'practice' is noun. But this is British English. Microsoft follows American English.

If so, what should we do?
I think, I am not wrong if I follow British English for writing articles.

Same is the case of many words like, 'neighbourhood'. 'u' shows errors. What should we do in that cases?

You needn't be this much worried or confused about the spelling styles of British and US English. Both are equaly accepted although the latter has got a little more edge in the modern world. Still, most of the Indians follow British English. If you are confident that the spelling of any word you type is correct either in the British style or in the US style, go forward and left away the confusion. What's important is the stuff with correct grammar with alluring presentation.

Oh..my friend....at last you come..... :cheer:

American spelling differs many ways. 'Cheque' is 'check' in American. In India, British spelling is standard. We can add to MS. dictionary. When yo right click the wrongly spelled word, there is an option for adding. If you are sure that your spelling is correct, just add and next time, MS will not show this as mistake.

Both are correct as practice comes basically from Latin collection. Like I am used to writing Labour, colour etc but US dictionary rejects them If I write for English sites I have to according to English version.

When you are writing for US sites, are you following American dictionary?

When you are writing for US sites, are you following American dictionary?

Yes I have both versions, as my clients in UK and US have clear instructions to follow English or American dictionary.

So, it's the answer!

I would prefer to use practice for noun and practise for verb,as before.
Is there any other words in English Dictionary which have different UK/US spellings?

I am thankful to you sandhya for creating this forum thread. Until i visit this thread, i dont know there are 2 spelling of practice are there. I always use practice only. I never know there is one more word of practice which is known as verb that is practise.

Cheque (British) and check (American)
Colour (British) and color (American)
Queue (Bristish) and 'Q'(American)

Many American words don't contain 'u'.

Now I will examine more clearly and post such words in future

Sandhya, as you have come to know from others' replies, both spellings are correct, and you can use either of them in your articles. But remember that if you choose to use either American version or British English, you should follow that style in your entire article, and not a few words in American English and a few in British English. Pick one style and use that here. Boddunan allows both styles but if you ever write for other clients, you will have to write according to their specified needs and requirements!

First of all I welcome Prasad in this family and then Sandhya thanks for creating such good knowledgeable thread.

He is my friend....(your name appears similar to him)
Actually I have been quarreling with him for a few days.....at last he came and post 1 reply and disappeared.
He is like an ocean of knowledge....English, Literature, Books, GK, Maths, Films(only Malayalam).... everything. He don't know Hindi. :(
If I have any doubt, I just call him. He will be there with an instant answer.

Wow nice friend with good knowledge. I think you are lucky to have such a friend

What a person he is where is he now sheeja. Are he writing articles or not.

Is he in boddunan also. Where is he sheeja. But you are really lucky to have such friend

I think she is busy with her daughter so she left away.
