'adviser' or 'advisor'

I think 'adviser' is technically more correct, but I see a lot of people using 'advisor'. Which one do you use, and why?

[Bukharan]

I use 'advisor'. It seems that it is a more widely accepted spelling.

[Eigen]

Advisor is what I've seen as most common.

I use adviser. When in doubt I like to check this page: http://apps.carleton.edu/campus/publications/styleguide/

They have a pretty handy summary of items from the Chicago Manual of Style.

When I held this title it was "academic advisor." So advisor

I like "advisor" better, because it implies that the advising is the function of the person rather than one of the things they do. "Adviser" implies it's a less permanent thing, but my sophomore year high school English teacher told me it was more correct.

Anyway--it's fairly academic to go into the implications, I know, but that's an aspersion that I feel like few people on here can honestly cast....

Advisor. Always.

Advisor. Always.

Advisor is the way we spell it at the school at which I teach, and I have never seen it spelled otherwise in an academic meaning.

[Langoustine]

I've always seen "advisor"
