advice
The word "advice" is an uncountable noun. This means you cannot say "an advice" or "advices". If you want to talk about a single suggestion, use the phrase "a piece of advice". For example: "Let me give you a piece of advice." Do not confuse "advice" (the noun) with "advise" (the verb). "Advice" is the thing you give; "advise" is the action of giving it.

🎬Tuesday afternoon, Victoria is in a high-stakes board meeting while Sterling is at his private spa.
Mr. Sterling
Victoria, the corporate spirit is a wilting lily. I need your advice on reviving it.
Victoria
Stop messing around and just sign the payroll audit before we're cooked.

The dynamic highlights Sterling's detachment through his flowery metaphor ('wilting lily') contrasted with Victoria's bluntness. She uses the idiom 'cooked', meaning to be in a hopeless situation or facing certain failure, to pressure him into performing a basic administrative task.
