Why is the spelling of the group name 'ADVANCE' instead of 'ADVISE' being questioned?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I'm going to sound like a pedant, but can we correct the spelling of the group name? It should be ADVICE, not "advise".

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion initiated over the perceived misspelling of the group name, which was pointed out to be 'advise' instead of the correct term 'advice.' The thread features a mix of humorous comments, defensive replies about teaching standards, and debates on the importance of spelling in informal social media contexts. Several participants contribute to the banter by questioning priorities in communication while making light of the situation.

i think i already rested my case that typos from auto correct or lack of auto correct rather than heading a whole page up with incorrect title spelling is a little different, but i realise you are bored as we all are so keap (free one for ya) going ;-)

it's auto correct which sometimes changes depending where youre typing it, so i dont worry about those ones, but it's not the name of a group thats going to stay there forever. That i would check over and get right. Nice try though lol
