0Although the word "advertising" and "advertisement" are used interchangeably in one sense, they are fundamentally different. "Advertising" is a gerund (verb-noun), a non-count noun whereas "advertisement" is a concrete noun. "Advertising" means the business or occupation of preparing, publishing and circulating advertisements; printed or broadcast matter that advertizes; advertisements collectively.
