Practise is spelled Practice.

The one that drives me to complete distraction is the "their/there/they're" confusion:

Folks, it's really not that hard!!

There: a place, NOT a person or persons. "The book is over there."

Their: possesive. "That's their book."

They're: contraction of "they are". "They're over there in their car."

See, how hard is this? :)

Right next to there/their/they're is your/you're, as in "That's your bass? You're kidding!"

Your - possesive

You're - contraction for "you are".

Please take careful notes. Gard will be having a spelling quiz at the end of the week.

I blame it on my amp, it's got me all confused.

I actually thought it was spelled that way. I can spell irony. Ya gotta at least give me some points for not saying, "I meant to do that - for comedy sake". And for not deleting this thread. I will soon be the talkbass ass for a day, if not already. And I earned it.
