My Advice is Not to Advise Unnecessarily

So which do you normally give if someone asks you for your advice? If someone thought I could offer some good insight into whatever the question was I would hope that I manage to advise them with some sound advice.

For some reason many people seem to get these two words quite confused. If I am advising someone to take a certain course of action then I am giving them my advice.

I think the easiest way to remember the difference between these two words is to think of them in present and past tense. That is, if I am in the process of doing something now I am advising them. If I advised them yesterday and they believed I gave them sound advice then I would hope they are now following my sound advice.

I was once told by a German friend that English is nonsense and it is the 'language of Geese' but if that was so, it is certainly very good at adopting, absorbing and implementing new words into our vocabulary.

Vocabulary is the foundation of any language and if the language is to grow to incorporate all the new thoughts and emotions along with the emerging technologies that appear every day, any vocabulary has to be 'expandable' enough to be able to absorb coherently all these new words into a language.

So if you were to ask my advice on the adaptability of the English language, I would advise you that there is very few, if any, languages that has the same or similar Latin base that allow the vocabulary found in the English language the ability to grow and incorporate the vocabulary required for 21st Century living.
