   Note: The analogy of the English language requires that the
         noun and verb which are pronounced alike should agree
         in spelling. Thus we have notice (n. & v.), noticed,
         noticing, noticer; poultice (n. & v.); apprentice (n. &
         v.); office (n. & v.), officer (n.); lattice (n.),
         latticed (a.); benefice (n.), beneficed (a.), etc. Cf.
         sacrifice (?; n. & v.), surmise (?; n. & v.), promise
         (?; n. & v.); compromise (?; n. & v.), etc. Contrast
         advice (?; n.), and advise (?); device (?), and devise
         (?), etc.
