      If your offense is great, your defense CANNOT suck beause teh best defense is a good offense. SImilarly, if your defense is great, so must be your offense because the best offense is a good defense

            No, that's if both your offense and your defense suck.

              The best offense is to have a defensive offense, so the offense can turn into a defence without straying from offensing. It is also good to have an offensive yet defensive although more offensive defense, to ensure your offensive defense is not too offensive but still quite defensive, in an offensive way. Similarily, the best defense is to have an offensive defense with an element of defensive offense, in which to ensure a mix of offensively defense and defensively offensive defenses, or even offenses.


              Besides, offense and defense are spelt offence and defence. I think. (so many offensives and deffencives has confused me )

                "Offence" is when you insult, or break a rule. "Offense" is the act of attack. Defence is not a word. In American English, anyway.

                  looking in the Living Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language.
                  defense (us) defence (brit) comes from the latin defensa. both are ok to use in this situation .

                  offense (us) offence (brit) both words mean the same.

                  This is finbars job to correct spelling and grammer , I am too stupid
                  The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits

                      I believe it is a verb describing the act of removing a property's boundary designation.
