Practice Makes Perfect?

[andrit]

correct english is : practiSe what you preach.
practiCe makes perfect

[quinie]

I'd already given the answer Practise what you preach though letters given and numbers were a bit confusing. practise-verb practice-noun Anything goes nowadays it seems.Oh dear I've used that dreadful word "nowadays"-a sign of getting on a bit!!
