Hi Michael, Spencer and Christina,
It's very good you have decided to support each other and share your thoughts. As you know you can always ask questions regarding the English grammar or any language related topic. You can also use the materials on our site and take part in the ongoing discussions. This means you will use a variety of methods developing different language skills.
Talk to you soon, Torsten _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Hi Everyone, Michael, I'm always around, just watching,like the BIG BROTHER in Oscar Wilds' (not Konnec) novel.  All jokes aside, I don't have that much time lately than I had before, but I'll be back soon, I hope. Cris, welcome to the brotherhood, eventhough you're a sister. If I notice any mistake of yours I'll be mercyless, I promise. By the way, Michael, I've just learnt there is no such a thing as "an advice" therefore there is no "another advice" either. At least that's what I think. See you later Spencer |

Hi Spencer!
I not really sure whether my expression "another advice" is correct. But what I tried to express was "each other advice"! I think there is a difference between an other and another! Let?s see if there is a teacher who solve this problem.

HEY, it's still blue, IT'S NOT RIGHT! I spent 10 minutes on delete Amys' lines to get this funny fake-quote, and it's still BLUE! I could've written the whole thing myself. Just for the record, the idea was good, I didn't add anything to Amys' quote. Sorry Guys, my bad, I just wanted to be funny, that's all. Spe |

Hi "Spe"  You should click the "quote" button, and then just highlight and delete the lines/words/letters you want to remove from the quote. You might have noticed, that I deleted half of your name from the quote above. 
You're exactly right, you also cannot say "another advice". Michael also corrected his text the right way, since what he meant to say was "give each other advice".

Hi again Amy!
I think my first reply to your post is completely nonsens! Like Alan explained the difference is:
another means additional
other means different, alternative, not the same
I only wonder wether it is possible to add an indefinite article to other (not usable with advice of course Thanks Spe ) For instance:
At this time my car is old, I?ll substitue it for an other (one)! not additional but alternative
Is that possible?

Thanks Spencer I Like you will be MERCILESS with me,as well as I am going to be with you, according to the longman of contemporary English dictionary the word is merciless with i not with y is not grammar but I guess spelling is also important bye Cris
