When you type 'Please advise' in an email, spell check always want s to
change 'advise' to 'advice'. This is incorrect. Advise is to offer
assistance, Advice is to make suggestions. It drives me crazy that everyone
changes it to meet Microsofts stipulation without thinking about the meaning
of the word.
Could we please have this changed?

While you are being fussy, note that...
advise is a verb ( an action )
advice is a noun ( a thing )
