MS Office Grammar Checker Wrong? 2

[flapeyre]

While working second-level support today, I was catching up on some old tickets that the users haven't responded to (we have to get an approval e-mail before we can proceed with a database fix). So I said:

We have not heard from you regarding Case 01234567.
Please advise.

Grammar check in Outlook wanted to change advise to advice.

Isn't this wrong? Did the authors of the grammar checker in Office bother to look it up?

I suppose not. The deal is, I get emails from users at my company asking me to "please advice" on the status of something or other. Drives me up the cubicle wall.

As a colleague says "There is no noun which cannot be verbed."

It is time for pacifists to stand up and fight for their beliefs.
