Are we secretly being run by yanks???? Why can't you spell "licence" properly 🤬🤬🤬

How about a compromise - lisence?

Oi, yew oll paid up on your posting loicense?

My excuse is that I was tyred.
Nice try; but as we see in Canada, the half-wits have also borrowed 'thru' from America too. But it doesn't stop there; I blame your comma splice indirectly on bad American schooling, for instance.
- I've only seen "thru" in Canada for drive through signage, I assume since it's fewer letters it's cheaper to make bigger/more visible.
  And kids who don't know any better, of course. I correct them every time they say "Zee* instead of "Zed", too

I am very glad that the sidebar does not log which admin wrote that.

I'm Aussie, and the funny thing is, at least 3 of us literally wasted at least an hour at work once discussing which way to spell this in our documents.

And then I forgot what we decided on a month later anyway. So I still tend to spell it both ways

I don't know how Australia does it, but in the UK we use both depending on context.

- I think the noun/verb difference is a little more clear-cut than just saying it depends on context.
  There's plenty(?) of words that are spelt with a verb–noun distinction:
  since I'm licensed, I can show you my licence
  she advised me and it was good advice
  he devised a clever device
  I practised for years before I got my practice
  and more where the difference is only in pronunciation (mostly stress):
  Tomorrow I record my record
  I suspect that that suspect is the one
  She'll present her present
