          Advisor in spoken English (I don't know whether it is 'or' or 'er', but somehow 'or' looks better)

            The second one is correct, but with Adviser spelled correctly.

            Am I the only one to see the irony in the question?

              Well it was spoken English - no-one would be daft enough to set themselves up as an Advisor in English spelling, would they?

              Well not without a dictionary in one hand and a spell checker in t'other.

                    To be honest it depends on whether you mean someone who is an adviser on spoken English or an adviser who speaks English.

                    And sorry, wasn't meaning to be rude, it just jumped out at me

                      Na...it's an English person who will be advising about a business- rather than a French one who speaks English. (who probably would know the answer to this!!!!)
