    Last year I announced the acquisition of a massive collection of LPs and CDs.

              I was searching online for a particular LP that my collection lacks, and found my way to that site - a common practice (or practise, I am never quite certain). Possibly Discogs helped. I did not purchase, I use various other reliable dealers, and the occasional visit to La Dame Blanche prompts grateful thanks to Ste Genevieve.

                Easy, Alain: in UK use, s for the verb and c for the noun.
                A handy way to remember is to think of advise and advice, which are pronounced differently.

                  I wish I had been taught that trick in school, even my English upper school. It has confused me for 60 years!

                  A common complaint for learners of English is that it is a language in which one can express oneself ungrammatically yet adequately, so one's errors remain uncorrected (except by teachers). If only speech had an Edit function.
