Overview: Atlantoaxial instability is an uncommon condition of dogs in which there is abnormal movement in the neck, between the atlas (first cervical vertebra) and axis (second vertebra). This instability allows abnormal bending between the two bones, which causes compression of the spinal cord.
Council, counsel, and consul are not interchangeable. Council is a noun. Its most common sense is âan assembly of persons convened for deliberation or the like.â It is generally used with a singular verb. A member of such a group is a councilor. Counsel is both noun and verb.
Counsellor is the preferred spelling everywhere outside the U.S. Similar distinctions apply to related words such as counseled / counselled and counseling / counselling; the single-l spellings are used in American English, and the double-l spellings are preferred outside the U.S. Examples.
