ADVISE VS. ADVICE

What's the difference between advise and advice?

Advise is a verb that means to give advice

—guidance about what someone should do.

Despite their very similar spelling, advice and advise

are pronounced differently.

Advise rhymes with prize,

while advice rhymeswith ice.

Because the two words are so closely related,

they are often used in the same contexts,

so, the challenge is simply to remember

which spellingto use for the noun

and which spelling to use for the verb.

Our advice?

Remember that, unlike advise,

advice never gets an s, even at the end

(advice is a mass noun, so, it’s never pluralized as advices).

Here’s an exampleof advise and advice

used correctly in a sentence.

Example: I advise you to get some professional financial advice before you start a business.

Dictionary.com

SYNONYM STUDY FOR ADVICE

Advice, counsel, recommendation, suggestion, persuasion, exhortation

refer to opinions urged with more or less force

as worthy basesfor thought, opinion, conduct, or action.

Advice is a practical recommendation as to action or conduct:

advice about purchasing land.

Counsel is weighty and serious advice, given after careful deliberation:

counsel about one's career.

Recommendation is weaker than advice and

suggests an opinion that may or may not be acted upon:

Do you think he'll follow my recommendation?

Suggestion implies something more tentative than a recommendation:

He did not expect his suggestion to be taken seriously.

Persuasion suggestsa stronger form of advice,

urged at some length with appeals

to reason, emotion, self-interest, or ideals:

His persuasion changed their minds.

Exhortation suggests an intensified persuasion or admonition,

often in the form of a discourse or address:

an impassioned exhortation.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Advise verb

Did You Know?

Advise was borrowed into Middle English in the 14th century

from Anglo-French aviser, itself from avis, meaning "opinion."

That avis is not to be confused with the Latin word avis, meaning "bird"

 (an ancestor of such English words as avian and aviation).

Instead, it results from the Old French phrase ce m'est a vis

("that appears to me"), a partial translation of Latin mihi visum est,

"it seemed so to me" or"I decided."

We advise you to remember that advise is spelled with an s,

whereas the related noun advice includes a stealthy c.

Usage Notes

Guidance on 'Advise' vs. 'Advice'

A case where one letter changes pronunciationand grammar.

What to Know

Advise is a verb

meaning to give a recommendation, opinion, or information.

Advice is a noun

referring tothe opinion or information given or received.

Very simply, "advise" means "to give advice."

Although numerous English usage commentators and handbooks,

from grade school up, warn not to confuse

the similarly spelled

—but clearly different

—advise and advice, evidence attesting to

English users misapplying them turns up frequently enough

to prompt us to give instruction on

their correct spellingsand meanings.

A chief causeof the confusion seems to be

that these orthographically close words are

both associated with guidance that is sought or given.

Mushill has found herself going beyond the normal role of chamber director, providing advise, support and in some cases a shoulder to cry on for business owners.
— The Belleville (Illinois) News-Democrat, 25 Sept. 2020

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Travolta, who hadn't done a TV role for 40 years prior to this, sought advise from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey before taking the part.
— MailOnline, 7 Jan. 2016

— The MidWeek (DeKalb, Illinois)_, 3 Apr. 2019

The DifferenceBetween 'Advise' and 'Advice'

The main difference between the words, besides a letter

and their pronunciations, is their parts of speech.

Advise (withan s pronounced \z\) is a verb

that indicates the act of giving an opinion, suggestion, recommendation, or information,

while advice (with a c pronounced \s\) is a noun

that refers tothe opinion, suggestion, etc.,

that is given or received.

In other words, the verb advise means "to give advice."

Here are examples of correct useof both words:

I advise you to stay at home—the weather is nasty.

The attorney advised her client to not sign the contract.

Patience is always advised when dealing with children.

My parents' advice was to always follow my dreams.

He followed the doctor's advice and lost some weight.

Her father offered some words/pieces of adviceon buying a home.

Forms of 'Advise'

As a verb, advise has inflected forms:

the present tense advises,

the past tense advised,

and the present participle advising.

Forthose in doubt on whether to use advise or advice

when a verbis called for,

remember that a verb expresses action

and that the verb advise has an s as does express.

Advise is also the word that follows please

when expressing a request for guidance or information.

"Please advise"is common without a direct object

in the closing of a correspondence,

but it typically takes one (direct object) in other contexts

(e.g., "Please advise me onhow to proceed";

"Please be advised that we will be closing early.")

'Advice' Has No Other Forms

Advice,on the other hand, only occurs in the plain form advice

because it is a mass noun,

which means it does not have a plural form,

making advices incorrect(only advise has an -s suffix);

additionally, it is not used with the indefinite article an.

If one can recall,

when hesitation on which spelling to use strikes,

that advise is a verb that expresses action,

then by default

they can confidently choose advice asthe correct noun spelling.

Advice can be modified by an adjective("good/bad/professional/unsolicited advice"),

and it is often found in the common collocations

"to give/offer/provide advice,"

"to seek/ask for advice," and

"to follow advice."

Tips For KeepingThem Apart

We hope this primer on advise and advice

is helpfulin differentiating the verb advise

from the noun advice.

We leave you with one more tip forchoosing the right spelling:

try the alphabet.

The term noun comes before verb in the alphabet

like the letter c comesbefore s

and, in turn, alphabetically

advice and noun comebefore advise and verb.

Pointers aside, correct spelling ultimately

comes down to memorizing advice as the noun

and advise as the verb.

That's the most sound advice.

'Advisor' vs. 'Adviser': Who Will Win?

Going head-to-head in a centuries-old rivalry

What to Know

There is no differencebetween adviser and advisor besidesspelling,

and both are acceptable for someone who gives advice.

Some people, though, feel that advisor is more formal.

Advisor tends tobe used for people having an official position

—for example, an advisor to thepresident.

Welcome to today's Spelling Variants Match.

In the red corner, weighing in at seven letters

and with the same ending we see in

such well-regarded words as teacher and farmer,

the lovely and familiar adviser.

And in the blue corner, weighing in at a slightly rounder seven letters

and with the same ending we see in

the likesof such slightly elevated words as doctor and actor,

the always well-dressed advisor. Who will come out as today's champion?

But really, folks,

spelling variantsare far too serious a matter

for some kindof frivolous boxing metaphor.

There are facts to consider:

1. 1. The words adviser and advisor

bothrefer to someone who advises

—that is, broadly, someone who offers advice.

Both spellings date to the 1500s,

with adviser entering the playing field

several decades before advisor stepped out.

1. 2. Their pedigrees are slightly different,

and only in the obvious way:

the -or suffix in advisor is ultimately from Latin,

while the -er suffix in adviser is ultimately Germanic.

1. 3. Adviser is the hands-down overall favorite,

based on large swaths of data available on the Internet.

Beyond these facts, we might also consider the following:

adviser retains the e prominent at the finish of both advise and advice,

 while advisor alignsnicely with supervisor,

and plays well with advisory and supervisory.

Also, worth considering

is the fact that in many cases

one or the other is used as part of a person's professional title:

the United Nations Office of Military Affairs

is headed by the Military Adviser.

Sometimes a single organizationwill use both:

the United States government has both

a National Security Advisor and a Council of Economic Advisers.

Many publications don’t much care

how the title bearer writes the title:

they go with their preferred style.

Although the U.S. government refers to advisors

in discussion of the National Security Council

and reference to the National Security Advisor,

national news organizations

overwhelmingly prefer adviser in the same contexts.

And what does all this mean for our two contenders?

(You didn't think we'd just give up on a bit, did you?)

It means that we have no knockout,

but based onthe number of punches adviser landed,

adviser is today's champion.

Advisor is down a few teeth, but will live to see another fight,

and has its passionate defenders in the meanwhile.

You have several choices going forward:

you can use the reigning champion, adviser,

in keeping withthe majority and your spellchecker;

or you can side with advisor, in fealty to the underdog;

or you can choose onefor general use

and apply whichever is used

within a particular organization for those contexts.

What fate decides in the coming rematch is (sort of) in your hands.
