Off thread? (pun intended)
Personally, I would advise people not to take advice from those who are unsure of their facts regarding the English language.
Mondane differences between verbs and nouns, such as advise and advice for instance, often prove to be too difficult to master, even for those who supposedly have English as their first language.
I'm just off to practise the difference between practice and practise after I finish my speeling and grammer practice so please don't take this as me offering advise.....
