Just to explain how a dictionary works WAV. If you have problems Surestart offers literacy courses for the unemployed I believe.

1. Look up practice - result: noun, usual or customary...repetition in order to acqire mastery...

2. Look up practise (or US Practice)result: VERB to do repeatedly in order to gain skill...

Oh by the way that's from Collins...

So in UK English (Collins is published in Glasgow) Practice is the noun, practise is the verb. In your own Scottish choice of dictionary WAV.

The OED my dictionary of choice agrees with this.

English folk music owes more to the Carthy/Watersons than you could ever conceive. You are rude to the emissaries of the culture you choose to espouse.
