bug bear alert, ive no idea why this bugs me but it does

if you want advice - its advice!
not advise.
you would advise someone else. if you want someone to advise you, its their advice you want.

ok?

thanks for that. as you were.

Thank you Vicar. My bug bear of today is vice verca. Driving me nuts. It is vice versa.

I'm guilty of this I've just found.

I have just read over a thread I posted on and cringed when I realised I had put "advise" instead of "advice"

Appauling.

Why? Why?
