Surely in the US it is 'practise' and not 'practice' that is used for both noun and verb, not the other way around as is stated in the entry?

In the UK, the noun and verb are distinguished by spelling (with -s- for the verb and -c- for the noun). In the US, ‘practice’ began to be used as the verb as well from the 19th century onwards, and is now generally seen as the standard spelling for both. Ƿidsiþ 08:55, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'd really like a citation for the Canadian spelling being practise. The first time I ever encountered that spelling I was sure it was a typo. 76.10.184.83 18:00, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
