grammar checker regarding the words "advise" and "advice"
Most people in my office in Miami are not native English speakers. Due to
the Microsoft Word 2003 grammar checker they end up saying "Please advice." The Thesaurus defines "advise" as a verb meaning to offer advice. Why does the grammar checker not recognize this in the simple sentence "Please advise." Another example of this problem occurred in a list of job duties including "Guide and advise the college administration..." The grammar checker suggests "advice." I see this every day and feel embarrassed for our professional staff. Does this bother anybody else? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
