Well whaddaya know. I just learned the Brits and their minions spell “license” differently. I’ll add that to my list of stupid British spellings. (Colour? Centre? Programme? Draught? Plough? Really! Americans should be grateful Noah Webster did as good a job as he did in changing American spelling. Too bad he didn’t take it further and get rid of every stupid “gh”.)
As kids in northern Illinois my sister and I once made a snow turkey for Thanksgiving (with music for “Snowbird” in its wing) and a snow rabbit for Easter.
There is a verb: “to license”There is a noun: “a licence”Remember? to advise is a verb; advice is a noun even in the USofA. I advise you to remember my good advice.

Maybe he can get his licence on line! But then again, I think they’d need two cats to operate a bulldozer; one for the petals and one to steer.

I don’t care how you spell license. I just love this comic strip! One of the best ones out there!

English spelling has to do with how it was pronounced where the first printers set up shop. I sometimes just for fun pronounce it as written.
