The ence/ense variation was explicitly not permitted; I'm sorry.

The final tally:

Shayne Parkinson & Bookpossum - 5 points
pdurrant & poohbear - 3 points
Bilbo, Stitchawl & orlok - 1 point


Here are some others (US/UK):

curb/kerb (noun)
carburetor/carburettor
pajamas/pyjamas
practice/practise (verb)
skeptic/sceptic
specialty/speciality
annex/annexe (noun)
furor/furore
chili/chilli
ton/tonne

The ladies from the Antipodes have tied, so I'm giving Bookpossum extra credit for the Great War reference and the win (well, and because Shayne set the last quiz ).
