practise is a verb and practice is a noun.

Or.. even face, not fase. :( And there's vase, sometimes pronounced VAAZ.

You CAN pronounce ginger as in singer. You'd be the life of the party! I know people who play around with words like that all the time. It's unexpected and hilarious. You can even embellish it by changing the emPHAsis on a differnet sylLABle.
I get a kick out of how frech-canadians pronounce develop: de- ve-LUP. Where as the englaise prounce it: de-VEL-up.
