Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Practise is a verb, practice is a noun.
I like to remember it with the following sentence.
"The doctor had to practise his surgery skills before he could open his own private practice clinic"
Verb, S=surgery. Noun, C=clinic
It's funny that you offer correction. UK English makes this distinction, US English doesn't and uses practice for both. Internationally where many English speakers mix neither usage can really be said to be incorrect. Pedantry fail.
Eh, I'm not that invested as to feel I've failed. To fail you need to try. I just like fighting fire with fire when I see people correcting other's spelling online.
At the end of the day, as long as you're communicating your message effectively whatever you've written has done it's job. I'm dyslexic, people offering unnecessary spelling advice irks me, so if they make a "mistake" (at least, as far as prescriptive English goes) I'm going to annoy them the same way their comments annoys everyone else. If they're not annoyed by it, well who cares, nothing gained nothing lost.
