Most confusing heading in the local paper this week: "Price of price is extortionate."
On a more helpful note a letter to The Times, from Canon Richard Lindley no less, offered the following help for confusing similar words:
"My recommendation used to be to think of 'advice'/'advise', which are pronounced differently. That was my advice that was what I advised."
This holds for licence/license, practice/practise too. The c is for nouns and the s for verbs. Easy when you know how!
