Your use of 'however' here is incorrect, however--never use it in a run-on sentence where you should start a new sentence (and separate the 'however' by a comma).
'Good morning, pedants. When I'm writing, I like to think that my grammar is relatively decent. However, I consistently manage to confuse "practice" and "practise".'
(NB I often use run-on sentences or simple concatenations of sentences when writing on the forum to approximate the rhythm of spoken language--I realised early on that on the forum I mostly find myself feeling as if I'm speaking to people directly as opposed to hiding behind my computer, so that the above pedantic punctuation is not strictly required.)
