Need some Advice?

I read an "Agony Aunt" column in the newspaper the other day, and here was something that caught my eye. It was something that teachers in school repeated every other day during English Grammar classes. Here's the line from the column that is of interest to us:

"Dear Agony Aunt, blah blah blah. Please advice."

I immediately thought of my English teacher and couldn't help smiling when I remembered all those red marks in my exam paper.  Advice vs Advise was a very common error that we made when we were in school.

Advice - is a noun i.e. an opinion that someone gives you or you give someone.

Advise - a verb, i.e to give advice


E.g. The general physician advised me to consult the orthopaedic surgeon

Please give me some advice on which type of investment is the best in this current economic scenario.
