Hi, Please let me give it another shot. I've been thinking why "advice" is uncountable while "opinion" is not. A dictionary that is suppose to tell differences among words, says, "opinion" = “This is what I think” and "advice" = “This is what I think you should do.” But this explanation doesn't help me to figure out this un/countable issue. One thing I am getting to realize about "advice" is that the concept of the word is somewhat close to the words "information" or "news." They are collections of several small things, and so they can't be clearly outlined, and so they can't be counted. But I still don't see why one is countable and the other is not. Any tips would be appreciated. M
