Advice / Advise
my friend always uses "advise" instead of advice ... is that a proper way to use that word? For example... thank you for the advise on taking the train.
I know you can say -- please advise me on the best road to take. but isn't "advise" used incorrectly in the other example. what do you think?

Interesting thread.
Some time ago, I posted the rule for the endings "ise" and "ice"; the words in question then were "practise" and "practice". [url="http://www.EnglishForward.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=43262#43334"]Here[/url] is the thread I'm referring to.

Just don't try this with "affect" and "effect"!!!
More additions:
Affect (verb)
Effect (noun)
PS: Effect has a verb form too but it carries another meaning.

Please advise. This is fine.
Advice, please. This may be okay grammatically because it's obviously a shortened form of the idea "I seek your advice, please." But it's very curt, and I would find it a bit presumptive and rude.
You are correct that "Please advice" is incorrect. Perhaps "Please! Your advice!" could be a desp
