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


May I be forgiven for correcting your grammar?
1) It's "his egocentric", not "their egocentric, (person is singular).
2) It's "your experiencing,", not "you experiencing." (possessive)
