Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

British spelling has been used throughout the app, UG, and DG. However, here, the American spelling of the verb "practice" is used instead of the British "practise".

Team's Response

Hi, this is not defined as a bug as it does not hinder the user in any way. User is able to read the UG in full clarity. If we refer to the CS2103T website, user guide bugs are issues that hinder the user in reading the guide. Grammatical mistakes and typos would make it harder for the user to read the guide because the sentence structure becomes incorrect. However, usage of American spelling instead of British spelling would not make it harder for a reader to read the sentence because the grammatical structure is correct, and the word (whether in American or British spelling) would mean the same.

Therefore, in view that readability is not negatively impacted, our team would reject this as a bug. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing out this inconsistency!
