    Spelling: is it "adviser" or "advisor" -- and why?

        Because it is spelled more often advisor than adviser and looks more like a title.

        Advisor - To give overview and direction. vs. Adviser - One who provides advice. Just made that up, but it sure sounds legit.

        My shot at answer: Adviser is activity, Advisor is title. Now - Comptroller or Controller? 🙂

        To my knowledge, both are correct. "To - may - toes" v. "to - mah - toes." I prefer the latter because it's more formal -- and pretentious.

        Advisor is a noun; Advise is a verb .. thus, use appropriately depending on the circumstance..

        your title is "advisor" and, as such, you advise others; in which case, you're acting as an adviser

        I prefer "or," but spellcheck programs keep trying to correct me.

        Has the new iOS made it nearly impossible for you to type almost anything? (It has for me)
