Nope, it's "practice" for both noun and verb over here, although we do still devise our devices.
I remember two brothers who transferred into my high school from GB. The English teacher marked wrong a comma one of them had used according to what he'd been taught back home (there are some very slight differences, I believe). Poor Michael indignantly complained, "After all, it's OUR language!" |
