When offering advice to someone who has asked to be advised about something, appears to cause a lot of confusion. Which always leaves me thinking twice about the advice they offer when they are advising me.I read a lot of information on the Internet, in articles (both bought and freebies) and am amazed by the number of times I see this spelling error. In fact, I sort of feel now that it's me who is out of step with my language skills. But a quick trip to my off-line Oxford Dictionary soon puts me at ease again.You see, it works like this: When I am offering advice to my Contractors - that is all I am doing – offering advice on how they can save time and improve their marketing skills to get more jobs for less effort.I am advising them on ways it can be done with ease and efficiency. My advice may not always be taken but it is still good advice and worth reading. And I do differentiate the difference by saying that it is my advice that I am advising them to do based on my experience in their market place. See the difference yet?Advice is what I give when I am advising them on how to do a better marketing job of their services.I think this problem occurs because people have become too reliant on their spelling and grammar checker on their computers. You see, both are real words and are both spelt correctly for that word so the computer doesn't pick it up as an error. It's a bit like George and Gorge.Now here's another interesting error possibility – in more ways than one."Just suppose George went to the Gorge and while there he gorged himself on his packed lunch"The computer would pass that as okay too because there are no spelling or grammar errors in there. But gorging George while doing it in the Gorge, would be about as sick as that sentence – and George!So my advice to you when advising people on a course of action is to be sure you are giving them the best advice you can in what you are advising them to do.http://www.constructingprofits.com
