Three-fence! Just because it looks like it belongs in a nursery rhyme ^_^ But other than that, I use defence for sports and defense for military type things. Though I guess that doesn't make too much sense, does it?

I'm American, so "defense." If I was English, Australian, or Canadian, it would be "defence." It's like color-colour...

But my big question is...

why isn't Pat Buchanan on the polls anymore?

Defence for certain! I'd kill any Brit who spelled it differently.

I use which ever one comes out first and looks write to me. It's usually defense.

I'm American, so "defense." If I was English, Australian, or Canadian, it would be "defence."

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sorry. Defense is dumb. Defence is the better spelling because it's better.

Defence? Personally I avoid using the word And I think I've been staring at 'defense' and 'defence' too long because now they both look really weird!

Play safe. Vote 'Bob'!

D-Fence. Duh. Haven't you ever been to a sporting event??

Everybody knows that the correct answer is BOB!

I say defence. But now both seem weird! Stupid language *grumbles.*

I spell it with a c.

Defense.


Defence=De-fence=taking down a fence.


Obvious.

What are you talking about? All this defense and defence nonsense! The correct answer is most obviously Bob!!

*closes eyes*

Defence

Okay then. ^__^

Defence

Huh. I naturally type it with a 'c' but I always thought, as an American, I would spell it with an s (as was said before, it's partially a 'depending-on-where-you-live'/'if-you're-a-Brit-Australian-Canadian' thing). Plus, I think I've seen the two spellings at different times in the same story (of mine), though I don't know if I've used them differently (as in sports/military) or not. I think my fingers just like betraying me sometimes... *sigh* XD

Generally, though, I think the proper spelling (like, what you should use in an essay) is with a 'c'.

People who have to spell it in a spelling bee and the judges of said spelling bee. My mom had to spell it one time and she spelled it with a 'c', but the judges insisted she was wrong. They had to look it up before they would give it to her! ^^;

Yeah, it depends.

I vote D-fence! I love rally cries!
