"For English-speaking guests and also for all those who would like to practise their skills in English."

I guess, the ammount of visitors of the furum might arise, if the word "practice" is writtent correctly...

I guess, one should always check thoroughly before implying that other people are mistaken.

This, BTW, also refers to such popular words as 'ammount', 'furum', and 'writtent'...

Just my two cents.

I also guess, some misprins are not that important, while the quibbles don't seem to be objective enough...

BTW, things are changing, because it's in their nature... Check your sources better and choose the most proper one before reffering to it communicating other people, otherwise a misleading is likely to occure. E.g. "to practice" has already been common in BE for quite a long time, and "to practise" is known to have become absolete.

Yeah, yeah, screw them 'misprins', especially when we're mentoring other people how to spell

As to the word in question: according to the Webster dictionary here: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary.htm,

both versions of the above verb are legitimate. Thus, even if you sincerely feel that one of them became 'absolete', this isn't quite enough to claim a spelling bee trophy.

You are probably on of those who use 'coffee' in Russian with neutral adjectives, right? since the language is changing, so there's no shame in that?

Right you are! But please, take into your consideration, that it was not my own justification for myself, that the language had changed and it had finally become possible to say 'coffee' as neutral without any fears to seem illiteral... I used to say 'coffee' as male, when it was literate.

I also have to notice, that I wasnt 'mentoring other people how to spell'... I just suggested to change the way the forum is presented. You shan't substitute the messages within the forum and the forum's review, which is supposed to be posted once and '4ever' for every would-be visitor to be able to see it...
