    Test was right with Practise.

    Practise is a verb.
    Practice is a noun.

    Both the sentence you used and Testyal used were right.

    Testyal making a genuine grammar mistake? Not in our lifetime.

    Hmm..
    In North America (obviously because of US XD) the spelling is generally "practice" with a C... and there is no distinction between the verb/noun differences used in UK and Australia.

    ...just learned that myself...
    I'm trying to stop with the Americanised grammar and the sort, because I'd rather use the more widely used grammar. (example, globalization...)
    Not much difference, but it seems more practical.

    Americanized grammar is incorect grammar.
    Most of us Americans try too hard to shortcut everything to get our point across.

    A lot of grammar gets muddled up across the pond, especially on a site like this, where we have a varied distribution of English speakers. For example, I once got into an argument with someone after having to remind them that me spelling 'colour' was not incorrect.

    With words like globalization, I do tend to use a z, for the shallow reason of 'it looks cooler'.

    I use z in gloabalization because it sounds like a z.
    Kind of like Colour or Flavour, or anything really. It all depends on the person and the place.

    I'm a Brit, so I use British grammar and spelling, in the same way I'd use American spelling if I were in America.

    Oh, and that's a damn good drawing of Fluttershy, Lu.
    See what I did there?

    Oh you.

    I might actually redraw that picture, but add Rainbow Dash, just so I can call it
    [youtube]nUdy8-AB2gk[/youtube]


    Seriously, with a tablet, I feel I can just draw anything. When people ask artists like Crookedtrees and John Joseco how to become a good artist, yeah there's practice and passion and the like, but honestly, the bottom line is get a tablet. No more shoddy drawings from me!

    Speaking of tablets, I should be getting one soon. I need one. It's the only reason I don't draw.

    I'd recommend a Wacom Bamboo. Testyal's got a WB Pen, and I've got the Pen and Touch, and they're both brilliant products at excellent value. If it costs triple figures, it's not worth it.

    Meanwhile, I'm in a pub in Bridgend to watch a game between Cardiff fans and Swansea fans, in Mike's memory. There are literally hundreds of people here, and it's even being broadcast by Sky Sports. Wicked.
    My stepbrother's the captain to, going to do his dad proud.

    Been slightly happier recently, I've had more positive reflections.

    I planed on getting a Wacom tablet of some kind. Thanks for the suggestions.

    I'm glad your feeling happier. Your step brothers the captain of a soccer team? Awesome.

    It's only a charity match today, but he's captain of an amateur team yeah. He's pretty good, and my other stepbrother's playing.

    Anyway, kickoff's in a second. Got some fics to mod when I get back.

    Charity games are better any, More fun and less competitive.

    Lupr, that's still cool, coaching a team would be awesome. Only team a get to manage are fantasy ones.
