This is a repeat of the same discussion posted in 2016.
**************************************************************************
So many italki members ask for help in the Questions and Answers section, the Discussion section and the Notebook section.
Many kind-hearted people try to help.
And writing a response takes time and effort.
I know that saying thank you is not customary in many countries, but in the English speaking countries, it is customary to say thank you when someone helps you.
Developing your English language skills includes following the cultural norms (habits/customs).
Please remember that those good people who try to help you deserve to be acknowledged and thanked.
It's just good to know that someone has read and appreciates your effort.
I offer this advice in the hope that posters will receive all the help they need.
This topic and the question is not directed at anyone in particular.
Please think of this as friendly advice.
It’s a lot worse than not saying thank you. I offered to speak English over Skype once with someone from this board, trying to be helpful. There was a 10 hour time difference between us. When I tried to schedule a time covenient for me it was ignored. Suddenly, out of the blue, i got an unannounced Skype call at 1:40am, my time, from the person wanting to talk that woke me up out of bed. This was preceded by a 5 minute „Good Morning“ by the caller per Italki messenger. Needless to say, I declined the call and blocked the user. Not even a paid Italki teacher would put up with this sort of behavior.
No good dead goes unpunished.
Thank you Nada...
May I make a suggestion?
The noun advice is called an uncountable abstract noun.
It is abstract because it is an idea, a concept, a thought and it is not a concrete, physical noun such as 'house, car, dog, etc'.
So because 'advice' is uncountable, we cannot have one or two or more "advices".
That means that the noun 'advice' is never plural, and so that means we cannot say "a advice" which is equal to "one advice".
We need to use a determiner, such as some advice, a piece of advice, any advice, etc. (Google determiners to learn more).
