Hey Charlie, what does the AP Stylebook say about "advise" and "advice?"

It says that spell check won't catch some obvious typos.


Not at all obvious. It's a very common error -- not as a typographical
error, but as a grammatical error.


In this case it was a typo. I don't spell words in my head as I speak,
either. Go suck another lemon, and see how you feel.

I expect better from you Charlie. You and Dave are two of the few who bring
order, decorum, wit and intelligence to this group. Arguing the fine points
of grammar is a delight to those of civilization, culture and taste, a group
in which you belong but frequently stray. A person of your fine breeding and
upbringing should place their egocentric tendencies aside, extend a pinky
properly and sincerely thank Dave for his correction, unless, of course, it
is you experiencing the citrusy taste. Didn't you learn anything from charm
school?

May the Lord have mercy!

Glory!

Bob Crantz
