I'm amazed we're seven pages into this and only KuMBye YamALaWd has posted correctly about "practise" (the verb) and "practice" (the noun) so far. "Practice" should not be used as a verb, at least here in the UK, according to my Oxford English Dictionary.

There are a lot of people out there called Jesus. Although the Second Coming is still expectantly awaited, as far as I am aware (as is the first, depending on your religion).

Jesi?

No, seriously, it obviously would be Jesuses. What is wrong with that?

Incidentally, "moot" does not mean "foregone conclusion". According to the Oxford english Dictionary, it actually means "arguable" or "subject to debate" - i.e. the OPPOSITE of "foregone conclusion".

dictionary.com to the rescue! Seriously, almost all of these discussions can be rendered "moot" by just looking it up.

mootness n.

Usage Note: The adjective moot is originally a legal term going back to the mid-16th century. It derives from the noun moot, in its sense of a hypothetical case argued as an exercise by law students. Consequently, a moot question is one that is arguable or open to debate. But in the mid-19th century people also began to look at the hypothetical side of moot as its essential meaning, and they started to use the word to mean “of no significance or relevance.” Thus, a moot point, however debatable, is one that has no practical value. A number of critics have objected to this use, but 59 percent of the Usage Panel accepts it in the sentence The nominee himself chastised the White House for failing to do more to support him, but his concerns became moot when a number of Republicans announced that they, too, would oppose the nomination. When using moot one should be sure that the context makes clear which sense is meant.

not exactly. A more modern definition of the word is just a little bit different from the definition that you posted.

"Practice" is the US spelling of the verb "practise". The general rule is that you use either US or UK english consistently, but I think we're going to see that liberalised/liberalized in the near future.
