@Setanta,
So my understanding is "advice" is non-countable word which means I cannot have more than one advice? I am a little confused because you mentioned that back in the late 19th century and early 20th century, people did use the word "advices", so what about now? The context has changed?
"She gave me few advices but I did not listen" So...the word "advices" in this sentence is incorrectly used because "advice" is not countable, correct?
What about
"she gave me some advices on how to sew" in this sentence "advices" would still be incorrectly used?
Where as...
"She gave me the advice to eat a small meal before working out"
"The advice I have for you is not to procrastinate"
The word "advice" in these two sentences is used correctly because according to what you have explained, you can give advice or have advice but cannot have advices. Is that correct? Thank You so much for your information and help!
