Understanding the Distinction Between Council and Counsel

This text clarifies the meanings of "council" and "counsel," two terms often confused due to their similar pronunciation. A council refers to a governing body, such as the village council that voted to repave Main Street. In contrast, counsel relates to the act of giving advice; it can be a noun as in seeking counsel from a lawyer, or a verb where one might counsel another to proceed cautiously. Understanding the difference is crucial for effective communication and proper usage in various contexts.
