Adviser vs Advisor

[gyan]

Please explain the difference between 'adviser' and 'advisor' in detail.

gyan, please note that I have added 'Please' to your post. We respond more readily to requests rather than demands.

Both are used, but 'adviser' is more common.

Sorry sir, I will take care of it further.
It is generally read and heard that 'advisor' is more formal than 'adviser'. Is it so?

Sorry. [STRIKE]sir,[/STRIKE] I will take [STRIKE]care[/STRIKE] note of [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] that [STRIKE]further[/STRIKE] and use it in future.

It is generally [STRIKE]read and heard[/STRIKE] said/believed that 'advisor' is more formal than 'adviser'.

Is [STRIKE]it so[/STRIKE] that right?

Note my corrections above. Don't address people here as "sir". It is overly formal and it suggests that you assume we are all men. We are not.
