I’m not. I’m offering solid advise. The OP site can take it or leave it.

To anyone: using the cute ad-hominem names only damages your credibility. Use them at your reputation’s peril.

Well, I guess your "reputation" as a know-it-all is in "peril" then.

Because if you're only "....offering solid advise....", then make sure YOU spell the word correctly.

The word is "advice" in the context you used it, not advise. Advice is a noun. Advise is a verb.

Ya' see how this works? It cuts both ways. Now you have damaged YOUR "reputation" as an I-know-what's-best-for-others expert.

Your use of the word "peril", which means "serious and immediate danger", is hyperbole. An over-the-top description of what will happen to my reputation if I don't follow your archaic rule. I can hardly keep from shaking in my boots in fear of this "peril" you speak of.

Best to stick to the subject matter of the thread instead of handing out sloppy "advise" to others about their choice of what words to use. You've got problems of your own to take care of.
