why is sometimes advise written as 'advice'?
102533
Hi there, \n\nAdvice and Advise aren't the same.\n\n'Advice' is a noun, as in "He gave me an advice."\n'Advise' is a verb as in "I advised him to invest in mutual funds."\n\nHope this clarifies the point. If not, I'd be glad to assist you further. Just let me know. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

I think this is a case of a writer, or his editor, searching for a word and not coming up with the word he intended. I think he was looking for "tapped," which can mean selected, but his mind gave him "tabbed" instead. It's not the making of a noun into a verb that is the problem. That's done all the time in informal English. It's just not a good word choice.

In a way, yes. It is the wisdom of your experiences. If someone doesn't act in their own best interest, or if they don't understand the simplest wisdom, we say they don't have "common sense". Another way of putting it is "They just don't know stuff that normal people should know." The more that you communicate with your local community, the more common wisdom you will have and spread around. As we get more isolated behind books and computers, we lose a lot of our 'common' sense of things that even "common people" would know.

Did the person ASK for suggestions and/or advice, or were these things given to the person unsolicited? If someone ASKS for suggestions, and you give them, and then the person does what they want to anyway, well, there's little (or nothing) that you can do about that. If the person did NOT ask for the suggestions, and you give them anyway, then it's really none of your business to start with. The only exception to this, IMO, is if the situation involves someone being harmed.\n\nSometimes we (as humans) ask for suggestions or advice simply to gain perspective, or affirm what we already know to be the "right thing", deep down inside. If you have someone in your life who often asks for suggestions, and then goes off and does something completely opposite of what you have suggested, then you may want to refrain from offering future advice, as it seems that this person and you do not share a similar viewpoint.\n\nThis brings to mind the old adage, "You can lead a horse to water - but you can't make him drink".

It is impossible to know without the context. What's the whole sentence you find the phrase in?\n\nEdit: That really makes no sense. It's certainly not a frequently used abbreviation. Some more information would really be helpful.

No, you aren't the only one that finds this confusing.  It seems like the more I read--the more they contradict eachother.  I think it is just a hit or miss---sometimes the advice you get works, sometimes it doesn't.  What worries me is that some of the people that have used the advice received have had negative effects on their credit---its really confusing.

Recomendar it's used more often when you're sure of the effects of taking that decision. e.g: Te recomiendo ir a McDonald's. (I recommend you to go to McDonald's). You are sure McDonald's is a nice place, and s/he will like it.\nAconsejar is used when you're giving advice, but you wouldn't do it or consider it risky. e.g: Te aconsejo tomar el puente del norte, aunque... (I advise you to take the North Bridge, but...). S/he may found that the north bridge is actually the better way, or not!

Depends if it's good advice or not.

Communication in business is watching your "p's & q's" a little more closely than usual.  Slang is frowned upon and communication is also culturally sensitive.  The direction/flow means that it is directed to the person resposible for acting upon it.  Problems/concerns always filter up through imediate supervisors. It is always frowned upon to jump up and over someone in the line of command.  There isn't much difference in writing/speaking except that writing is more direct and to the point because busy people don't want to read extra details they don't need to.  The language of business depends really on the business itself.  It's amazing but each business tends to have it's own language.  It depends on the industry and each group of people within a organization develope their own way of communicating with each other.

Not much at all.  They're actually synonyms, and mean almost the same thing.\n\nI'd say, if anything, that "recommend" has a bit more authority to it, as if you're speaking from experience, whereas a suggestion is generally more of a thought or idea.\n\nThey can be used interchangeably without confusion, though.\n\nSUGGEST:\n1. to mention or introduce (an idea, proposition, plan, etc.) for consideration or possible action.\n2. to propose (a person or thing) as suitable or possible for some purpose.\n3. (of things) to prompt the consideration, making, doing, etc., of.\n4. to bring before a person's mind indirectly or without plain expression.\n5. to call (something) up in the mind through association or natural connection of ideas.\n\nRECOMMEND:\n1. to present as worthy of confidence, acceptance, use, etc.; commend; mention favorably.\n2. to represent or urge as advisable or expedient.\n3. to advise, as an alternative; suggest (a choice, course of action, etc.) as appropriate, beneficial, or the like.  \n4. to make desirable or attractive.

this rule is not a rule at all.  there are many other exceptions:\n\nefficient\nspecies\ndeficiency\nand so on and so on....\n\nthis "rule", like so many one learns in one's high school english class, proves to be post facto, unsatisfactory explanation for a system that is far too rich and diverse to be explaned so simply.\nDon't buy it.

There is some useful advice here.

It's actually quoted as an example even in the Oxford Dictionary. They say it's spoken English and used instead of "why". I agree with those who think it's not excellent English, but you know, use sometimes is sovereign and creates rules of its own!

because sometimes those words are not exact quotes.  Sometimes the words in [] are only implied.  for example if you saw "i loved [the cast].  they were great to work with"...  the actual quote may have been "i loved them.  they were great to work with"
