Argh! You have a driving licence. You have a premises licence. Not license.

I think maybe in American English we only have one spelling. I bet a lot of people get caught out because of that (I do!). Practice/practise, too.

Yes! Also, I keep seeing 'driver's licence' instead of 'driving licence'. The latter is correct in the UK. Grr.

Use advise and advice in your head for both practice/ise and licence/ense. Makes it much easier than trying to work out noun/verb & therefore which is correct.

yes, US English is license for both.

ours is licence for noun, license for verb (same as practice/practise, advice/advise)(although, conversely, in us english, practice is for both...)
