I’m not precisely recalling when I finally and fully understood the difference between counsel (“And I am counselling you”) and council, but it was probably during the first Student Council election that I paid attention to, which was either in sixth or seventh grade. I’m also thinking of Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly‘s It’s Always Fair Wether (’55).
