''Advices'' meaning.

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

Does "advice" in the plural mean "information"?

Forget about 'advices'. The word does exist, but only in a specialised sense which you will probably never encounter for the rest of your life.

I've never needed to use it so far and never expect to.

You have started several threads recently on the difference in meaning between singular and plural forms of nouns, Rachel. Rather than asking about meanings in the abstract, you would do better to provide sentences in which the change of number appears to suggest a change in meaning.

I don't have examples. Sorry. :-|

The book should give at least one example.

That's because it doesn't exist in nature.

That's because it's not countable. You can count pieces of advice, but you can't count advice.

Rachel, bookmark Fraze.It, although I have to say that in most of the examples there, 'advice' would be a better choice.
