The New Joke Thread
No just pointing out that the wife probably would have beaten you senseless for that joke.
Of course I would be in the next bed over for similar reasons.

Do they spell license with a "C" down under?

They spell license with a “C” everywhere people write English. Two Cs is a little unusual though.

In the US, both the noun and verb are "license".


In the rest of the word, the noun is "licence", the verb is "license".


Similar to US practice versus practice/practise in the rest of the world.


Why the US uses "s" for one and "c" for the other is just another of those peculiarities.

Only when it's a noun.
Licence is a noun, license is, on the other hand,, a verb.
Likewise, practice is a noun, practise is a verb.
And, advice is a noun, advise is a verb.

Daniel Webster felt there was a need to create a distinct national language in America, distinct from that spoken in the former British motherland, that they were trying to separate themselves from. Webster wanted to make sure that all Americans were speaking the same words, and spelling them and pronouncing them the same way. He published his grammar books starting in 1783, which included a speller, grammar, and reader, and a dictionary, in 1806. His American Dictionary of the English Language took years of travel and research, but was finally published in 1828, and included Americanisms and Webster's own original definitions for some words.

Re: The New Joke Thread
I just learned something unexpected. 2 Cs is a legitimate spelling.
