Here is some free advice--take a little time to check your spelling. In the previous post, I used the wrong word, leading students to use the wrong word. Needless to say, not exactly a shining moment for a teacher but at least it was a teachable moment.
As stated on Zozanga English Forum:
Advice & Advise
The words advice and advise are often mixed up, which is quite understandable since they have similar spellings and meanings.
'Advice' is a noun: you can give someone a 'piece of advice'. For example, let me give you some advice about travelling in China.
'Advise' is a verb: He advised me to always keep my passport on me when I was in China. His advice was very useful.
