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!

You missed the point, Bob. I was being helpful by pointing out that
Dave is exceedingly dour, and a boorish grind. My advice is that he
should lighten up. He'd be a better person, and life might become
mildly fun for him again.

I see your point. I like Dave. A man of your talents could use the "velvet
hammer" and coax the fun side out of Dave rather than being a bit blunt
about. Save the blunt stuff for the truly stupid. Dave is a cautious man
with strong reservations as well as convictions. Perhaps we can instill a
sense of soaring idealism in Dave and then he will toss aside the heavy
cloak of practicality. Think of what is possible, rather than what is, Dave!
Relive the greats moments of the past with glorious gestures today! Walk
right in and say "You can get anything you want at Alice's restaraunt" and
then walk right out. When you vote Republican, vote Goldwater! Insist on
using the regulation issue .45 in the pentathalon. Fight cowardice,
compromise and lies! A man does not fight to win, no it is better when the
fight is in vain! Do not lead a life of quiet desparation.
