>>Hi everybody,
>>
>>The word "advice" is a noun, while "advise" is a verb. However, I see lots of messages, even from the native speakers, where "advise" is used as a noun. I'm wondering, what other examples for "c" in a noun and "s" in a verb exist?

Thanks a lot. I was thinking of both when I created the thread, and finally choose the wrong one. Hopefully now it's better <g>
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
