It's like "Practise" (verb) and practice(noun) isn't it ?

Not exactly Muriel.
Noun=advice, verb=to advise.
However, in American English the noun and the verb are "practice" (the British-NZ-Oz verb is well to practise).

Yes it's different. Thanks !

Hi everyone ! if you want to hear here is a good video about uptalk and vocal fry

For me Further and Farther are confusing. What about you ?

Farther vs. Further:

This one is actually sort of a trick question. In the U.S., farther is usually used to indicate actual, physical distance, while further is more of a metaphorical, intangible distance. For example, “We’re farther from Austin than San Antonio” but “Her statement couldn’t have been further from the truth.” However, in U.K. English, further is used for both meanings, and, according to Grammarist, farther is rarely used. Even in U.S. English, however, many dictionaries and style guides either make no distinction between the terms or recommend that further be used across the board

Hi Muriel,
I think I'm good at using these words.
Around 2000, I had a discussion with an English senior about them. English seniors are rather strict about British English grammar and often complain about young Brits having the tendency to damage English with Americanisms.
I had used "farther" on an American computing forum, DEREK mailed me saying that I should have used "further" and I responded I didn't agree with him and that according to my dictionary, "farther" was better... I finally managed to convince him I was right. It was not a question of difference between Am and Brit: I taught him British English.
I'm proud of this

congrats Gérard !
