Hey Dave,
Great catch. The reason why soooo many people (clueless, once again) make the mistake of misspelling the phrase with “please advice” is because a lot of e-mail programs attempt to correct the proper spelling,(i.e. advise)with “advice”. Shame on you people for not knowing the differance!! Stop letting your computer do your thinking for you. Hey let’s start another good one… “pursuant to…”.

I just shake my head when a correspondent misspells it

” Please Advice “.

Geesh!

Wow, I’ve received so many “Please Advise” e-mails that I want to be sick. It’s *almost* as good as the ever so popular way of starting the e-mails:

“First of all…”

The phrase “please advise” must be some sort of code that I’m not privy to. Some ideas:

I’m clueless.
I can’t think for myself.
Tell me what to do.
I choose not to make a decision.
I’d prefer to deflect responsibility.

Which one is most appropriate? Please advise.

Flogging a dead horse.

Always fun, but so messy.

If you have any suggestions on how to clean it up, please advise.

Thanks.
