no its this site, something to do with flash, doesn't usually cause a problem with AVG which is how i know there is not a real problem, unless they have a new ad i haven't noticed, but every time i move pages AVG is flagging me with a warning. i'll try an update see if that fixes it.Vive Le Revolution!!!'Lets just stick it in, and see what happens?'

mine either, i ran un update that failed, oh well switch it off for now, it will catch up i guess, and i trust this site.
back to the subject in question:
english....which is spoken as a first language by many countries that were not 'british' originally...... hence their construction is not the same as ours.
advisor/adviser is not the issue really, its internationally accepted as correct.
sentence construction however..is different.
english speaking.....is correct construction wise, it is grammatically correct ( grammar is the construction of a sentence, not to do with spelling
) and unless you want to use a whole sentence to explain your adviser is an english national ( who on reflection may have a passport but can't 'speak' english for toffee) , the term will do

The person speaks English. The English would be spoken.
Thus: English speaking advisor; or English spoken by advisorComment

what is it you want to express exactly?
a business adviser that speaks english?
who are you addressing, english people, or french people?Last edited by BrideXIII; 14-11-2008, 05:16 PM.Vive Le Revolution!!!'Lets just stick it in, and see what happens?' Cigarette FREE since 07-01-09 Comment
