In what way? Advise is a verb, advice a noun.
Use the wrong one here and the grammar check throws up an error suggestion.

Is it wrong to say ?
"Please advise" ? If so then its fine. The suggestion given is to change
to "Please advice".

That's nothing to do with 'advise' and 'advice' -- just the problem of
trying to determine the syntax of a sentence fragments. Natural language
parsing is still a very primitive science.

But 'Please work' or 'Please check' is working fine.. but not 'Please
advise'. so i stil think ther is a problem in these two words. Even though
the language parsing is not very advanced, these things are basic right ?

Could it be that grammar check thinks that advise requires an object,
such as: Please advise *me*?
