My apologies; I shouldn't have described it as a misspelling. I had looked at a Concise Oxford, Dictionary and on a more careful scrutiny I see that it denotes 'advisor' as a disputed usage. Quote, "the disputed form advisor is probably influenced by the adj. advisory" I would still hold that the correct term is 'adviser' but if one allows the other usage 'advisor' there is no difference in meaning.

"In the Order of the Arrow adults are advisers, not advisors. I'm not sure why the spelling difference, but I was put in my place on this topic earlier this year. There is probably some sort of special meaning to the -er versus -or. Maybe one of the OA types can clarify the difference. So advisers we are, advisors we are not. " The word is adviser; "advisor" is just a misspelling
