Spell check: advise and advice are used in the wrong context.

[Fussy Lady]

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 )

Jim Cone,

Although you are correct, I'm not sure what your point is. Fussy Lady is absolutely correct that ALL Microsoft programs incorrectly tell us that "advise" is wrong. It ALWAYS tries to change it to "advice" no matter what the context is. It still does this and it drives me crazy. I have no idea why this is still happening after all these years but I would love to see it fixed.
