That article broke its own rule with the first sample sentence. It uses "practice" as an infinitive, which is a verb used as a noun, not a simple noun.

"Advice" is a noun, referring to a solution or course of action to take. "Advise" is a verb, referring to the action of giving advice.

yeah it's the same as advice and advise.

You all DO realise that British English inverts the American English usage of these words and other similar words, right?

Really now? Hmm, I didn't. XD and thanks for the tip. I'll run this up with the Resources peeps to see what they think.

Look to the "Advanced" folder under grammar, you'll see a folder called "Grammatical differences bet. AmE and BrE, there's a bunch of them there.

hope that helps :)
