Talk:High adviser

Advisor/Adviser
Since none of the literary sources I consulted refer to an official declaration that this form supersedes the other as being chiefly "American-English", indeed, I found quite the opposite, I must ask the reason for the page move. Even using our sometimes-guide for precedence, the scripts, seem to indicate that "advisor" the preferred spelling over "adviser." This was all considered prior to the creation of this article, so I am curious as to why it was moved? --Alan 21:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know what to do in the case of a word like "advisor", Alan... I've been going with standard American English usage, but...we *do* go with script spelling for names and such for words that are more general... whatever the consensus is, I'm fine with it.
 * Closed captioning used "er", but even StarTrek.com referred to him as "or" and for that matter...for those of the technical sort are consistently credited in films as "or"...so that really seemed significant in the decision...
 * ok
 * But i had to ask because I actually took some time to look into that one first didnt figure it would ever come up, but i was wrong ;)
 * lol. Maybe we should use this rule in this particular case... for the title-related ones, use "advisor", like "high advisor" or "military advisor" for all other usage (i.e. "he was an adviser to the president") use adviser.

That makes more sense. --Alan 21:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
