I think you can say it does? Ie in other languages, the plural of advice (which in English is advice, "I gave him a lot of advice") is spelled differently(with the plural ending). From my personal knowledge, in Russian advice is совет and "advices" (or advice pl.) is советы. In Spanish, advice is consejo and there is a plural consejos. This can probably be also translated (in both cases) as "tip" and"tips" or something similar.


Yeah, but at least the examples wikipedia has, are for similar words, not just applying random other grammatical rules:

informations (French) -> informations (English)

compétences -> competences
