Not advising against advice

Google popped this one up in my feed: a Times of India web story testing the difference between commonly confused words. Considering that's a topic near and dear to my heart what's the difference, if any, between advice and advise? Are they merely regional variants of the same word?

Merriam-Webster sums up the difference nicely here . For those who don't like to click through, it's really simple: I could advise you, or I could give you advice. If you weren't clear on this, you're not alone: the screenshot above is from that web story , which incredibly, got this exactly backward

On a completely different note, if I may advise you, as I watch Mayo get his first Gatorade shower: don't sleep on dem Pats ;)
