Carrying on from yesterday’s post …

Is it:

defense or defence?

offense or offence?

pretense or pretence?

These are all nouns.

Do you know the verbs?

Answers

In BRITISH ENGLISH:

It’s defence, offence and pretence.

They are nouns so this fits with yesterday’s pattern of using a C for a noun, like practice and advice.

In AMERICAN ENGLISH:

It’s defense, offense and pretense. 

This is the same as license.
