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.

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.
