disagree  Beatriz Galiano: In is not common either, that's true too-de is not russian, it's very,very latin.I sometimes take the 'omnibus' the word we use for 'bus', just because it means 'for all', don't fight with the internet.

  -> Irrelevant; 'de omnis' is still no Latin.
agree  Joseph J. Brazauskas: 'In' with either the ablative or accusative in the sense of 'about, respecting, in relation to' is certainly possible, if not very common. Please see my note for examples.

i advise about everything
omnibus de rebus suadeo.


Explanation:
The person or persons advised, if expressed, would be in the dative case, e.g., 'Marco omnbus de rebus suasi', I advised

'Rebus' may be omitted, the number and case of 'omnibus' sufficing to illustrate the intended meaning. Its position in my proposed translation places the emphasis on 'everything'; placing 'rebus' first would emphasise the things advised rather than the sheer number of them.

--------------------------------------------------

'In' with both the ablative and the accusative is sometimes found in classic prose in the sense of 'in relation to, about, concerning, in respect to, etc.'. Cf., e.g., Cicero, de senectute, 7.21: 'num . . . eum quem vos etiam vidistis Romae, Diogenem, coegit in suis studiis ('respecting his studies') obmustiscere senectus?', Id., de officiis, 1.9.28: 'id quod apud Platonem est in philosophos ('concerning philosophers', NOT 'against philosophers') dictum'.

i advise about everything
Ego de omnis suadeo


Explanation:
I advise about everything Ego de omnis suadeo.

suad.eo V 2 1 PRES ACTIVE IND 1 S
suadeo, suadere, suasi, suasus V (2nd) [XXXBX]
urge, recommend; suggest; induce; propose, persuade, advise;

n *is : neut. abl. pl. 2i advise about everything Ego de omnis suadeo.

suad.eo V 2 1 PRES ACTIVE IND 1 S
suadeo, suadere, suasi, suasus V (2nd) [XXXBX]
urge, recommend; suggest; induce; propose, persuade, advise;

n *is : neut. abl. pl. 2 (abl: ablativo)

n *is : masc. nom. sing.
n *is : neut. abl. s. 2 ABLATIVO


n *is : masc. abl. pl. 2




This is latin and I am showing the grammar that backs my choice.


omnino : altogether, entirely, wholly, certainly, completely.


omnis : all, every, everything

THESE ARE ADVERBS AND TAKE THE ABLATIVE WITH 'DE'.


omnis -e [all , every, whole; of all kinds]; in sing. [each, or the whole of one person or thing].THESE ARE ADVERBS

Not only is the wording right, but also the LATIN structure,

without superficial or 'invented' words.



I can give proof, as I have done of my choices.


Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Look up omnis in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Omnibus (English plural omnibuses), is the Latin word meaning "for all, for everyone", and may refer to:


Omnibus is wrong here, and in omnibus does not mean 'about',


AND, THE DISAGREES MEAN NOTHING, IF I SHOW THE GRAMMAR SUPPORTING MY CHOICE.

I FOUND OMNIBUS IN WIKI,

YOU FOUND OMNIS, IT IS A NOUN THAT TAKES INFLECTIONS TOO.

STILL I HAVE POSTED THE GRAMMAR REFERENCES FOUND IN OTHER DICTIONARIES, LATIN IS SOMETIMES UNCERTAIN AS IS,

TRANSLATING TO A DEAD LANGUAGE.

Also, I don't trust empty profiles.

omnino : altogether, entirely, wholly, certainly, completely.

i advise about everything
IN OMNIBUS CONSILIO


Explanation:
Ivo Volt's answer comes closest to my own selection but please note I was only looking for a slogan to post on my whimsical website. And I find this website far too complicated for a simple soul like me.
Also please note that back in the nineteen-eighties I created eighteen language pairs of dictionaries for PC TRANSLATOR - Spanish, Danish, French, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch to and from English (For more info Look under Ralph Dessau and PC TRANSLATOR on Google) In other words, I AM NOT A NEWCOMER TO LANGUAGES. And this matter has gone far enough but thanks for your help and enthusiasm. Sincerely,
Ralph Dessau.
