Hypochondria: The Impossible Illness. For millions, a cough is not merely a cough; itâs a drumroll of death, and no amount of diagnostic assurance can convince them otherwise. But the crosstalk between mind and body is such that we may all have a bit of the hypochondriac within. By Jeff Pearlman, published on January 1, 2010 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016.
Advise is a verb, and advice is a noun. So advice is what is given, while the act of giving advice is called advising (or to advise).
Thankfully, regardless of the variety of English youâre dealing with, advice is always a noun and advise is always a verb. If you have trouble remembering the difference between the two, it might help to keep in mind that advice and advise operate much like device and devise. You devise a plan, but to do so, you might use a device. Similarly, if you advise a friend, you are giving her a piece of advice.
