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

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

At the financial firm where I work, they're fairly adamant about the difference between adviser and advisor.
Which is?

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.

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.

Here's the WSJ take on advisor/adviser: [link] Apparently there are some financial people who are implying that an "advisor" has fiduciary responsibility and an "adviser" does not. As I understand it, investment advisers or advisors have fiduciary responsibility, while financial advisers, whatever the spelling, do not.
I was a student publications adviser, and, at least back then, the national organization cared very much about that "e."
