[PATCH] Small grammar fix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



"Advice" is a mass noun, not a count noun; it's not
ordinarily pluralized.

(I've never seen "advices" before, and to double-check that this isn't
an idiosyncrasy of mine I checked the Google Ngram data:
  http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=advice%2Cadvices
which shows "advices" is <1/100 as common as "advice".)
