Seeing as U.S. English tends to use the one form of practice to cover both meanings of the word, it's kind of logical to think that defence is actually the American usage and not the British, if you follow my reasoning (both sharing a -ence suffix). I also think that the American spelling of the noun and verb for licence is license (thereby nulling and voiding my previous reasoning). I don't know the etymology of defence/defense, but I wonder if a similar noun-verb differentiation once existed. Even though defense/defence does the job for both the noun and the verb, I get confused every time I need to spell the word because of what I have murkily outlined above. If you've got a great memory, then all props to you. In Aleister’s defence, though, U.K. English does tend to favour an /s/ rather than a /z/ in spelling, and then there are all those pesky nouns:

Perhaps he sings with a faux-American accent too, thus further justifying his neighbours' discomfiture.

I know it would take a lot to get me out of bed on a cold winter's night after I'd finally warmed up to please tell someone if they wouldn't mind toning it down a bit. I can imagine lying there weighing up the cold over the possibility that my neighbours will surely stop caterwauling soon. One minute slides into the next, you fall into a fitful slumber, annoyance mounts, and before you know it, it's 6 a.m. I'm not sure which I would have done.

You can't really blame flat 3 for their consternation. You still enjoying this thread, CB? I thought it might be getting metronomeness.
