>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>The word "advice" is a noun, while "advise" is a verb. However, I see lots of messages, even from the native speakers, where "advise" is used as a noun. I'm wondering, what other examples for "c" in a noun and "s" in a verb exist?
>>>
>>>Thanks in advance.

>>Defence/Defense: these are both nouns but both spellings can be used (British, Canadian/ U.S.). The verb is defend.
>>
>>Offence/Offense: these are both nouns but both spellings can be used (British, Canadian/ U.S.). The verb is offend.
