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

I almost always use "advisor" - but my sole use is to describe a relationship between a faculty member/staff member to a student.

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."

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