I see this all the time on these forums...

The word is "defense", not "deFENCE". You're not REMOVING A FENCE.

That's all.

Defence is correct if you're in Canada, so if Raptors fans are saying it don't worry about it.

They were misled by those ubiquitous "D" + "Fence" signs.

But what about offence?

Lot of people favour defence over offence, I don't agree. Especially for centres these days, whose impact are really minimised if they only play one way.

Yeah yeah Brits. Keep removing your fences when you're trying to talk about defensive principles. Or is it defencive principles in England?

That's American English only. You should know what you're talking about before you start a thread. Delete yourself.

We have a big Canadian fan base.

The most import thing here is loving sports and I think the different spellings are a symbol of our diversity which I consider to be a great thing.

Does anyone actually use the word de-fence, when removing a fence?

I think the American term is vandalism, complying with the codisil, or ripping out the old fence line.

Seriously though from a retired English teacher, we aren't getting paid to post here so lighten up, Francis. 8-)
