Advertisment or advertisement?

ADVERTISMENT leaves out the E after IS.
Why people write ADVERTISMENT
Some letters are barely said, or not said at all, in everyday speech (the N in government, the P in pumpkin), so they drop out when the word is written as it sounds.
Advertise + ment: keep the E of advertise.

In the web pages Google counted for its trillion-word corpus (Peter Norvig's word counts), ADVERTISMENT appears 40 times for every 1,000 ADVERTISEMENT, about once for every 25 correct uses.
