One of my mentees was defending her PhD proposal, and she put my name on the title slide as an advisor. I told her that since my name was on it, I wanted to ensure it was as professional as possible. So, I carefully reviewed her slides the week before her presentation and fixed many things. I was invited to watch her defence today virtually, and in her Title slide, it mentioned that I was an "adviser". She had spelled advisor wrong; I never noticed it, and it was on the first slide. I thought it was so embarrassing. Then I asked Barb how she would spell it, and she didn't know, so she told me to Google it. When I did, I found that both spellings were equally correct. You learn something new every day.
