At the financial firm where I work, they're fairly adamant about the difference between adviser and advisor. I'm not sure if it's a style thing or if there's some regulatory reason behind it.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Consuela, every time I think your job can't get more screwy, it does, even at the end.
What she said, sheesh!

I think you should dedicate that song by Cee Lo to them. (one of my favorite You-Tubes is "Fuck You" narrated in ASL.)

Brenda, I was trying to look it up, and I think that 'adviser' carries more implication of fiduciary responsibility per ERISA and the like. Anyhow, we use advisor with an O.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I almost always use "advisor" - but my sole use is to describe a relationship between a faculty member/staff member to a student.
I have not used that term any other way.

I've seen the spelling "adviser" re: political advisers, but for some reason "advisor" has more of an academic feel. Like Advisor is an actual title and an Adviser is someone who just sticks their 2 cents in.

So Balticon is this weekend. Should be fun. Unfortunately I have a snot monster in my head. With luck this will clear up quickly.

You all have been too productive today.
I am just wallowing in PMS ick and having yet another bout of existential crisis in the world's slowest mid-life crisis.
